Join us for an introductory flying lesson in Sabadell, just 25km from Barcelona. You'll enjoy magnificent views and have the chance to take the controls yourself. The perfect experience for anyone who's ever dreamt of being a pilot!
the class
The experience begins with an hour-long briefing at the airport. You'll get to know the pilot, discuss the basic principles of flying and help prepare the flight plan. Next you'll meet your plane - the Cessna 152 - one of the most popular and reliable light aircraft in the world, whose dual control system allows the pilot to take over at any moment during the flight.
After accompanying the pilot in the pre-flight inspection, you'll be introduced to the Cessna's controls and instrument panel. Then it's time to start the engines and take off into the blue skies above Cataluña!
the flight
Flying in a light aircraft is nothing like flying in a large commercial airliner. The reduced size of the Cessna amplifies the sense of awe and wonder as you soar over the region to the north-west of Barcelona - passing the vicinities of Martorell, Sant Cugat, Esparraguera y Terrassa.
If weather conditions allow you may even be able to make out the mountain of Montserrat in the distance, and motorsports fans will recognise the Circuit of Catalunya, home of The Spanish Grand Prix.
During the flight you'll take part in a range of maneuvers, including turns, climbs, pitches, rolls and descents, giving you an unforgettable taste of what it's like to be a pilot.

It has been unique, since nothing can compare to flying, beautiful because from the air the views are spectacular, interesting because you learn the rudiments of why a plane flies and how it is piloted, and exciting because flying a plane makes you feel free as a bird!!
A thousand thanks to Amparo from emoniodays and Francesc, my pilot and flight instructor at Aeroclubs Sabadell, for their friendliness, great experience and good work. (Posted on October 6, 2023)

Finally we went to the aircraft, where David explained to me step by step all the procedures and the pre-flight Checklist, the start-up, he requested permission from the control tower, we taxied to the takeoff runway and after obtaining permission from takeoff from the tower the excitement began. Once the flight altitude was reached, David encouraged me to take the controls and experience the incredible sensations of feeling how the forces of physics act on the aircraft, I was able to make some small ascents and descents as well as some turns and observe familiar places from the air like my town and also David kindly took some photographs of me for the memory. Later we went back to the airport where David once again demonstrated his expertise and professionalism in a perfect landing and always explaining all the procedures step by step.
Truly, an unforgettable experience and I recommend it 100%.
Again a thousand thanks to David, with his kindness, friendliness and professionalism he made it a perfect day. (Posted on December 9, 2022)

Review My flight baptism took place on February 6 in Sabadell. The truth was impressive and at the same time breathtaking. From the briefing, boarding the plane to the takeoff until reaching the flight height. What I liked the most was how David, the Pilot-Instructor, performed the flight. It was that skilled and precise that I landed without any jolts. For this reason, I want to emphasize that the merit of my first flight went to the pilot who demonstrated his professional level, and his ability to teach the future pilot.

Review My dream became reality. I'd like to send my thanks to Juan Antonio C. (the true pilot) for a great afternoon. Highly recommended.
