Learn to fly on a private introductory lesson at Kazanlak Airfield. Sit in the cockpit with a qualified instructor and follow every step from take‑off to landing. When conditions allow and at the instructor’s discretion, you can try basic maneuvers yourself — or simply enjoy a panoramic flight over the Rose Valley.

How your lesson runs

You begin with a short safety briefing and an overview of what to expect in the air. You then board a two‑seat aircraft (instructor + one passenger) and observe all procedures. At a suitable moment, the instructor may hand you the controls for simple maneuvers. You’re welcome to bring a small camera to capture the views.
