Pilot for a day between Lake Iseo and Brescia

Torbole Casaglia (BS), Lombardy

Pilot for a day between Lake Iseo and Brescia

A flight baptism in Brescia offers you the opportunity to fly over Franciacorta and Lake Iseo, admiring breathtaking views and experiencing the unique thrill of piloting an ultralight.

During this experience you will get to put yourself at the controls, under the supervision of an experienced pilot, learning the basic maneuvers of flight.

You will board a two-seater ultralight equipped with dual controls, experiencing the thrill of climbing, descending, turning and accelerating. At your side will be a qualified instructor, who will introduce you to the world of aviation by explaining basic notions and maneuvers.

The flight is preceded by an initial briefing lasting about 30 minutes. During the briefing you will be explained the main theoretical concepts and maneuvers you will perform in flight, such as turns and speed changes. After the theoretical part is over, you will board the two-seater ultralight.

The activity is individual and involves only one participant at a time, but it can be shared with a special person who, if he or she wishes, can make a 20-minute flight (selectable when booking) or assist free of charge from the airfield.

Comfortable, seasonally appropriate clothing is recommended. A valid ID is required.

While booking you can choose from several options:

30-minute single flight

You will fly over the skies of Franciacorta and Lake Iseo, enjoying spectacular views from above. During the flight, which will reach an altitude of about 600/700 meters and last 30 minutes, you will have the opportunity to experience firsthand the basic maneuvers under the careful supervision of the pilot Paolo, thanks to the dual controls. The total duration of the experience is about 1 hour, including pre-flight briefing.

1-hour single flight

Discover a new perspective: fly over Lake Garda and be fascinated by the landscapes that have marked the history of Italy and Italian aviation, then reach Franciacorta and Lake Iseo. Under the guidance of an experienced pilot you will take the controls and learn the basic maneuvers of flying.

Flight with Companion

If you would like to share this experience with someone special, this option is ideal. The main participant will make a 30-minute flight over Franciacorta and Lake Iseo, preceded by the usual theoretical briefing. The companion will in turn experience the thrill of flying an ultralight for 20 minutes, again in the company of an experienced pilot.

Group flight

For groups of 2 to 6 people, it is possible to book this shared experience. Each participant will have the opportunity to pilot an ultralight aircraft for 30 minutes.
Flights will take place one after the other, as this is still an individual activity with only one participant at a time.
