Best time of my life!
I was looking for an interesting activity and I had trouble believing what I was reading: Piloting a plane by myself while I've never done that? After explaining the basic concepts, the instructor will do the take off and that's it! It was a mind blowing experience, and the best time of my life!

Amazing experience!
It was an amazing experience! David is wonderful and makes everything seem so easy and smooth. I got to steer the plane right from the beginning while David talked about the plane, the sight and flying in general. He showed the effect of the g-force how intuitive it is to fly. He planned for me to land the plane too, but we got abnormal wind so he ended up doing it. Great experience!

Expérience extraordinaire!
David est vraiment un instructeur formidable et nous apprend énormément de choses sur les avions, le pilotage et les environs! On peut réellement PILOTER l'avion SEUL, du décollage à l'atterrissage! Bien évidemment, nous sommes guidés par les instructions de David, qui sont claires et faciles à comprendre (même pour un français qui commence tout juste à apprendre l'anglais)! La vue au dessus de la région de Nelson et Abel Tasman est tout simplement magnifique! Je recommande vivement de franchir le pas, vous ne le regretterez pas!
