How much?

FREE - it's on us!

Travel is an essential part of island life. Yet we know that many are affected by an anxiety or fear of flying, which has a very real impact on the ability of those to connect with family and friends, take that business trip or enjoy a new holiday experience.

We’d like to help. Bringing together classroom sessions with our training pilots, a behavioural change coach and putting the learnings into action in an experience flight our previous Freedom to Fly courses have changed the lives of previous attendees. What’s more, our courses are complimentary.

We are offering new course dates in Guernsey and Jersey for 2023, apply below:

Course itinerary

Living on an island means not having the confidence to fly can have a big impact on your life. Holidays can be missed out on, work affected and experiences other people take for granted not possible. This two day course will help give you a full understanding of the aviation world, before teaching you how to manage and confront your fears.

  • Training that pilots undertake
  • Understanding how an aircraft works and its safety features
  • What different sounds mean
  • What is happening at each stage of the flight
  • Understanding turbulence
  • Why things happen during a flight
