You can take the controls of the aircraft during the flight if you feel comfortable. You will find that flying is not that hard and with some common sense, you'll find yourself mastering the basics pretty quickly.

You will be briefed about the basic instruments, how to make the aircraft climb, descend and stay level. Once airborne, you can try to fly turns and see how, with a little practice, you will get pretty good at controlling the aircraft.

Whenever you feel like looking out the window rather than concentrating on flying the aircraft, you can relinquish control and enjoy the unique perspective on the world.
