Flying is the greatest adventure. It has always been the ultimate dream of mankind, and for our generation it is not only achievable but also affordable. The world looks very different from 3000 feet above the ground. There is a level of freedom unique to aviation – the ability to move effortlessly in three dimensions at the touch of a control. The sensation of flying is hugely liberating. Once you've tried it, you'll want to do it again. 

Learning to fly is not as hard as you might think. In fact, each year many people of all ages and from all walks of life take up this challenge. You can start learning to fly and obtain a Private Pilot Licence (PPL) at 17. Most people are content with achieving the PPL, which permits them to fly themselves and non-paying passengers anywhere they want, some may fly for the sheer joy of flying, or just for fun. Some enjoy it so much that they take it up as a career.
