Yes! At Aviation Academy Scotland, we understand that choosing a flight school is a big decision. That’s why we offer trial flights and structured training experiences to help you make an informed choice before committing to a full course.

Take the controls under the supervision of a qualified instructor.

Ask any questions about training and the next steps toward becoming a pilot.

Make an informed decision before investing in a full course.
Gain confidence by trying structured training in a real learning environment.
