By:


Show a little creativity the next time you need to buy unique birthday gifts for a birthday, anniversary or special occasion.

The recipient of this unique birthday gift idea will experience the thrill of flight and learn how to control their own aircraft in this incredible flying lesson experience.

Your experience starts with an on-ground session where you will learn about the main control surfaces of an aircraft and how they work. The components of the aircraft will be pointed out and the functions of each carefully explained. You will learn how to inspect the aircraft and how to prepare for flight.

A short theory session will explain the basic attitudes and movements of an aircraft in flight and how to fly straight and level. You will also learn about different types of climbs and descents and how to initiate a climb, descent and turn. Safety considerations such as weather, a good lookout, right of way and transfer of control will also be explained. Now it's into the air and once airborne your flight instructor will put you through your paces with the ultimate thrill of letting you take the controls as you pilot the aircraft on your own.

The great thing about this type of experience gift is that it is suitable not matter what their age. A flying lesson makes a great gift idea for a 30th birthday gift, or 40th birthday gift or even a 60th birthday gift.

Flying lessons are available across Canada and can be found in all the major city locations. Search for flying lesson Vancouver, or flying lesson Toronto or flying lesson Calgary and you're certain to discover the perfect gift.

No previous flying experience is necessary and in most areas the minimum age is 14 years, with all participants under 18 years of age needing the signature of a parent or guardian. For most small planes the maximum weight is 270lbs of each participant and the maximum height is 6'6.

Most flying lesson gifts should last approximately one hour and include 40 minutes flying time in a Cessna 172 or equivalent aircraft. All flights will have a briefing before and after.

One thing to remember about a flying lesson gift is that this gift experience is weather dependent and may be subject to postponement, in which case an alternative date will be offered. However, the flying lesson experience is available all year and most places operate seven days a week, so once you receive your flying lesson gift you have the freedom to choose when to take your lesson.

At most locations across Canada, spectators are welcome to watch you take off and land, so they can also share in this amazing gift.

And a final great thing about this unique birthday gift is that this flight experience can count towards achieving your Recreational Pilot Permit and in case you ever wanted to become a pilot this is a great way to get started.
