Flight over Studena, Dikanya and Dyakovo from Panicharevo for up to Three

A flight over Studena, Dikanya and Dyakovo reservoirs from Panicharevo Airfield near Dupnitsa gives you 30 minutes in a private aircraft, with space for up to three participants. See the reservoirs from above, enjoy views of Vitosha's southern slopes and, if you wish, add a flying lesson for the passenger in the front seat.

From Panicharevo towards Vitosha

Your flight departs from Panicharevo Airfield near Dupnitsa, in Kyustendil Province. The aircraft climbs to an altitude of 1,500 metres and heads north of the airfield towards Vitosha. The route takes you over Dyakovo Reservoir first, followed by Dikanya and finally Studena. Along the way, the southern slopes of Vitosha open up before you, adding a mountain panorama to the views across the three reservoirs.

Fly in a Mooney M20

The flight takes place in a Mooney M20, described by the provider as the fastest certified aircraft of its type, capable of speeds exceeding 350 km/h. A serviced aircraft with the necessary fuel and a certified professional instructor are provided for the experience.

An optional flying lesson

If you would like to try flying, the experience can include a lesson for the participant seated in the front. With the instructor's guidance, that passenger has the opportunity to take full control of the aircraft and discover how it responds in flight.

The instruction follows the same briefing used at pilot training academies. It covers maintaining level flight, climbing and descending, as well as performing simple and complex turns. These exercises help the participant become familiar with the aircraft's handling and responses.
