Airplane trial flight Zurich Buttwil - fly an airplane yourself

Report by Urs Matsch on 26.09.24

It was always my dream as a little boy to fly an airplane one day.
This dream has now come true. My wife gave me the gift of a trial flight, which I was able to do last weekend. My pilot Patrik Eichenberger looked after me very professionally. It started with the weather briefing, then the inspection of the airplane and the explanation of the functions and instruments. I was allowed to take the controls for the most part, of course always under Patrik's supervision. Starting with the take-off and landing. For me, this is an unforgettable experience that will stay with me for a long time! I can heartily recommend Flight Base and would like to emphasize once again how professionally and friendly I was received as a layman.
Kind regards

I gave the trial flight to my son as a present for his 18th birthday. Everything went really smoothly, from ordering the voucher to arranging the date. On the day of the flight itself, we were welcomed by a very friendly flight instructor. My son was thrilled with the experience from start to finish and would recommend it 100%.

Hello everyone. I had the pleasure of a trial flight. Perfect reception, brief information. Tour and flight preparation and off we went.
I was thrilled. It was the first time I was able to control an airplane myself. I was able to hold altitude, maintain direction and make various turns. We continued over Lake Lucerne and Lake Zug etc.
A very impressive experience - simply brilliant.
Many thanks and best wishes to the team.

The trial flight was one of the best things I've done. It was a lot of fun and the instructor let you do a lot yourself, but you always felt totally safe. The flight school is extremely professional and customer-oriented. We received a very warm welcome and I would go there again at any time, and I can highly recommend it to anyone who is interested.
