Airplane trial flight - fly yourself

Report by Ralph Curschmann on 25.09.25

The preflight briefing with the flight instructor was very informative and demonstrated the extensive preparation required for a flight. Weather conditions, loading/refueling the aircraft (in compliance with the stability conditions), destination airport and alternative airports, flight paths and much more was clearly explained. We then went through the checklists together.
The flight itself was extremely exciting. Controlling the aircraft, including a few practice turns, maintaining altitude and heading and also the effects of the wind made it a unique experience for me - in glorious weather, of course.
The flight instructor created a climate of trust with calm and care, so that I felt totally at ease during the entire flight. He answered all my questions, explained everything clearly and did a great job!
I can highly recommend it!

It was incredible!
I can only recommend everyone to do a trial flight once in their life. Christian is a great instructor and explained everything really well. I will definitely be back.

I was a little nervous at first, but from the moment I shook Mr. Sutter's hand, that feeling disappeared. I found the support very good, pleasant, and open. The program, including the briefing and the subsequent flight, was well organized and designed. It was an incredible experience to pilot a DA-40; I was pleasantly surprised by how much I was able to do myself! For me, this experience was incredible from start to finish! A memory I will treasure forever!
