Flying Lesson near Kazanlak over the Rose Valley

A flying lesson near Kazanlak puts you beside the pilot for a fresh perspective on the Rose Valley. Make it your first introduction to flying an aircraft, or simply enjoy a scenic flight over the surrounding landscape. If you would like to try the controls and conditions are suitable, you may have the opportunity to fly under the pilot's guidance.

Inside the cockpit, from take-off to landing

The flight takes place in a two-seat aircraft accommodating the pilot and one passenger. Sitting alongside the pilot, you can watch their actions and listen to the procedures throughout the experience, from preparations for take-off through to landing. Taking the controls depends on your wishes and suitable conditions; it is not an unconditional promise for every flight.

This can be a memorable flight in its own right, a gift that brings a long-held dream closer, or a first step towards a full training course leading to a pilot's licence. The experience itself is not a complete licensing course.

A different view of the Rose Valley

The area offers aerial views of the region famed for its roses, Koprinka and Zhrebchevo reservoirs, Botev, Buzludzha and Shipka peaks, and the towns of Sopot and Kalofer. The places you see depend on your chosen route and flight duration. Bring your own camera or a small video camera if you would like to capture the experience and the scenery.

Location, season and preparation

Why your flight time is approximate

The reserved time may change following the pilot's assessment of the weather on the day. Delays can also arise for operational reasons beyond the provider's control, including military aviation restrictions, activity at hail-suppression sites or unexpected traffic involving aircraft with special status. Your patience and understanding are needed in these circumstances.
