I have just finished my fixed wing training which was a great joy and enormous fun. A relaxed and friendly bunch of chaps happy to share their knowledge and not in any way pushy with regard to notching up extra hours to bolster their pay.
Just prior to my test, I did a few circuits with Danny who after 30 minutes and three landings, said to me "enough, I don't need to take any more of your money" in spite of the fact that I had budgeted for one hours training.Overseen by Assif with 17,000 hours flying experience, always willing and happy to offer advice.

Another highly successful member of the Piper Cherokee range, engineered to deliver an inexpensive aeroplane offering benign (safe) flight characteristics and respectable performance, the Piper Warrior II first rolled off the production line in 1977. The Warrior is primarily distinguished from the Cherokee predecessors by its double-tapered wing planform and two-foot-wider wingspan.

Very disappointed. Terrible customer service! AVOID!
My father in law bought gift voucher for 4 seater plane flying experience and confirmed they would allow 2 passengers and an instructor and one passenger would be allowed to fly. The gift voucher written by mak aviation was written for two people.
I called to book a time and they said only one passenger allowed in the 4 seater but I explained why the 4 seater experience was bought than the two seater experience. They denied what they said to my father in law. After calling again they agreed to have 2 passengers as initially agreed.

My son had a great day, the manager was very helpful.
Make sure you call to confirm, as other reviews say, if the weather is bad, it will need to be changed to another day, but this is never an issue.
Please do not book through Virgin Experience days, they are rude and charge a lot more, book directly.
Adventure Experience 001 should be avoided too.
My son flew over Amersham and Chesham as well completing circuits. The pilot was great fun too.
I can highly recommend MAK Aviation, thanks guys.

I received a 30 minute flying lesson (with another participant, so I did 30 minutes observation as well) as a gift. I booked the experience long in advance, I went for early June, (I booked in December) hoping it would be perfect weather.
As instructed on my gift certificate, I rang MAK on the day of my experience (a large amount of reviews don’t seem to do this... maybe this is why you don’t get told your flights were cancelled??) and was unfortunately told the weather wasn’t good enough so we weren’t flying. Disappointed, the chap on the phone quickly offered me another date (this happened

Amazing experience and great fun!
We bought 2 experiences so each of us was able to pilot the plane for a few moments. Our pilot, David, was very kind and professional. He made us feel safe and provided a lot of information about the plane and flying in general. It was very windy, so we waited around 1,5 hour for a decision whether the flights will take place, but it was totally worth it!
Those who easily get sick should skip breakfast, especially if it's a windy day.

This review is about customer service. And this place has none of it. I arrived with my wife - it was her birthday present. They began asking me for a £6 landing fee. I responded by saying it would have been nice that they had told me when I called them last night as I had not bought money with me. The gentleman was so rude and started lecturing me on always carrying money, and refused to apologise about not telling me about this extra charge. The other couple that were there also agreed and said they had no idea they had to pay a landing fee either. The the pilot started defending the guy as
