Description

Begin your journey into the world of flight with the “Pilota per un giorno” experience at Aviosuperficie JFK in Dovera, just a short drive from Lodi and Milan. This hands-on activity is designed for those curious about aviation or seeking an extraordinary adventure. “Pilota per un giorno” is a non-profit experience aimed at promoting the discipline of Light Sport Aviation; the fee covers only the actual costs incurred for the flight. Start with a 30-minute ground briefing where a certified instructor introduces you to the fundamentals of flight, including basic aerodynamics, cockpit instruments, essential maneuvers, and safety procedures. After the briefing, step aboard a modern light aircraft from the school’s fleet, such as a Tecnam P-92 Echo, or Flyitalia MD-3 Rider. Once in the air, your instructor will guide you through the controls, allowing you to pilot the aircraft during the 30-minute flight lesson (excluding takeoff and landing). Practice coordinated turns and follow a set route, all while enjoying panoramic views of the Lombardy landscape. The experience is tailored for one participant at a time, ensuring personal attention and maximum hands-on involvement. The activity concludes back at the airfield, where you can reflect on your first flight and capture memories of your time as a pilot. All necessary equipment, insurance, and fuel are included, and the experience is available in both Italian and English.
