What is the Course?

A four-part course specially designed for disabled children to get a fascinating and exciting introduction to aviation and to boost everyday skills test as teamwork and organisation. The programme is run by Aerobility staff and volunteers and will give a participant both aviation knowledge on the ground and a test of their flying skills at the controls of a real aircraft.

You will learn about topics such as principles of flight, how to talk over a radio, what airfields need to be safe and how to navigate your aircraft through the skies. You will also then have the opportunity to put the theory into practice through multiple flights at the controls of one of our aircraft.
