We started by looking around the plane together (pre-check stuff) then photos of me looking like I owned the plane 
Then he talked through the whole request for takeoff/taxiing to the runway (I steered with the pedals), he told me we were cleared for
takeoff and I had to push the throttle in and he told me to pull back on the yoke to take off. after that I got to fly over Brighton pier and the
beach (In May it was awesome!). Then over Lewis/Brighton University and back round to Shoreham airport. The only part he took over on
was the landing, which I was glad about!
One thing I noticed was how shaky and rattley the plane was during taxi, as soon as we were in the air she felt really solid, almost as if
she was saying, "Ah thanks, this is were I belong, in the air"
Go for it mate, you'll love it!
