About the experience
Experience the thrill of learning to fly in the stunning North Wales landscape at Caernarfon Airport in Dinas Dinlle. Our 60-minute trial flying lessons offer you a taste of pilot life in one of the most beautiful locations in the region. Formerly RAF Llanwrog, Caernarfon Airport in Gwynedd is a modern and well-equipped General Aviation airport, home to the Welsh Air Ambulance service, the HMS Coastguard rescue service, and our esteemed flight academy. The fleet of light aircraft, including Pipers, Cessnas, and Robins, is ready for you to take to the skies above Caernarfon and its breathtaking surroundings. During your trial lesson, you'll sit side-by-side with one of our expert pilot instructors in the cockpit of a four-seater aircraft. Whether it's your first time or not, you'll have the opportunity to take control of the aircraft and pilot it hundreds of feet above the ground, providing an adrenaline-pumping experience. After your lesson, relax at our airport cafe and shop with its lovely outdoor seating area, perfect for friends and family to share your excitement. Don't forget to visit our on-site Aviation Museum for an educational and memorable day out.
