Description
Get ready for a memorable aerial experience by the sea, departing from our ideally located aviation base in Saint-Aygulf (Fréjus), just a stone's throw from the sea! Your adventure begins as soon as you arrive at the ULM Flying Safari counter. You will be welcomed by your dedicated instructor, a passionate professional pilot. Before boarding, you will receive a personalized briefing lasting approximately 10 to 15 minutes. This time on the ground is essential: we will introduce you to the aircraft (our famous 'yellow planes'), the flight controls, and the safety briefing, as well as the 30-minute flight plan chosen according to your preferences (the Gulf of Saint-Tropez or the Esterel Massif and its red rocks plunging into the blue of the Mediterranean). Once you've been fitted with your radio headset, settle in and get comfortable. With the engine running, the microlight accelerates along the runway for a smooth takeoff. Very quickly, the magic happens, and the 360-degree panorama opens up over the Côte d'Azur. During the flight, you won't be just a passenger: your instructor will offer you the chance to take the controls if you wish! Thanks to the dual controls, you will learn how to fly in complete safety and experience the unique thrill of steering an aircraft. If you're flying in a pair or trio with friends or family, your aircraft will fly in close formation, and you'll be able to share your emotions live via radio. After these minutes of pure happiness and unforgettable photos, your pilot will take back the controls for a smooth landing at our departure base. A friendly review will bring this unforgettable activity to a close. The activity is suitable for everyone: children ages 6 and older, adults, seniors, and also people with reduced mobility. Our yellow planes are two-seaters: you and the instructor/pilot. For group flights, it is possible for up to 3 people to fly together with 3 planes in a formation, and you can communicate over the radio to express your emotions. Maximum of 3 planes = 3 passengers We look forward to showing you the French Riviera from the sky and sharing with you the experience of learning to fly as an experienced pilot!Includes
