About this tour
Take to the skies above Devon's rolling countryside in a motorglider—a whisper-quiet aircraft built for stability and panoramic views. This 30-minute flight pairs the thrill of aerial sightseeing with hands-on opportunity: your qualified instructor pilot offers tuition on the controls, and you're welcome to take the stick yourself. The motorglider's efficient design means it can glide safely even with the engine off, making it one of aviation's gentler experiences. Ideal for photographers seeking unobstructed angles of the Devon landscape.

- Near-silent flight for photography and wildlife spotting
- Long-wing design provides exceptional glide safety
- Unobstructed 360-degree views of Devonshire terrain
- Pre-flight briefing and orientation included

What to expect
You'll begin with a pre-flight briefing covering the aircraft's systems and your role during the flight. Once airborne, the motorglider's minimal engine noise lets you hear the wind and absorb the landscape below. Your instructor will explain control inputs and offer tuition if you'd like to handle the stick—steering, banking, even climbing and descending under guidance. If you prefer to observe, settle in and enjoy the vantage point most ground-based sightseeing can't match. The 30 minutes aloft balances immersion without fatigue.
Good to know
