If you're interested in learning to fly, this is the perfect experience for you! You will be on your way to obtaining your Pilot Certificate after your first day of training in a new recreational aircraft. Feel the exhilaration as you learn to fly from the pilot's seat!
Main Description
Your friendly instructor will go through complete ground briefings before we take to the air in a recreational aircraft.
During your flights in the local area you will learn to fly the aircraft under the close supervision of your experienced instructor. This will give you a 'feel' for the machine in its natural environment and you will find it surprisingly easy. You will only be asked to do things the instructor knows you can easily accomplish and absorb. During your flights you can relax in the knowledge that your Instructor will handle the landing at the end of the flights.
The time spent flying counts towards your Pilot Certificate, Recreational Pilot Licence, Private Pilot Licence or even your Commercial Pilot Licence.
2 x 60 minute pre-flight briefings, including safety checks of the aircraft. 2 x 60 minute flying time. 2 x 15 minute post-flight de-briefings. Allow 6-7 hours in total.
Please note this experience is not operated by Archerfield Airport.
