Hi everyone,

Can someone advise me on where the best place to do 1 hour flight lessons for beginners please.
I live in Dublin and was thinking about doing it with the NFC.

Many thanks,
Josh

Ring around the schools in Weston and see which one is cheapest and what type of aircraft do the fly. Then decide.

Yeah,I was just checking out the NFC's website and they offer alot of deals on introductory flights.
Could Someone give me advice on the best one,I want to go for 1 hour and they offer a half-hour flight simulator for 30 Euro extra.
Is it worth it and doe's a 1 hour flight include much preparation and ground briefing?
Any advice much appreciated.

Thanks,
Josh

Would it not be better to ring NFC and ask them directly? Unless a poster here works for them you cannot guarantee getting the correct info.

Do I pre-book my slot?
Do I pay in advance?
What is the cost?
Do I need to prep anything?
Is there anything I need to bring with me?
What are your opening hours?
How long does the voucher last?
Can I buy a voucher now and book a lesson in a couple of weeks/months?

Cityjet Cockpit Visit

Hi all, I'm heading to LCY with Cityjet next week wondering what would be the possibility of visiting the avro cockpit taking photo etc and would two people allowed in at once? Of course on the ground in either DUB or LCY. Would be great to compare to A320.
Appreciate any advice thanks.

These requests are best put forward to the capt before flight to arrange for viewing after the flight.
