Step into the cockpit for a hands-on one-hour trial flight over Perth. With a qualified flight instructor beside you, take the controls and experience basic aircraft handling while enjoying coastal and city views.
Set aside approximately one hour and 45 minutes for an unforgettable introduction to flying over Perth. Your experience begins with a pre-flight safety and aircraft briefing, during which a qualified flight instructor will introduce you to the aircraft, explain the main controls and prepare you for your time in the cockpit.
Once on board, you will be seated beside your instructor. After take-off, and when conditions permit, you will be invited to take the controls under close supervision. You may practise basic manoeuvres such as straight and level flight, gentle turns, climbing and descending while enjoying views of Perth’s coastline and city skyline.
No previous flying experience is required. Your instructor will guide you throughout the flight and adapt the experience to the weather, air traffic and operational conditions. The session concludes with a post-flight debrief and an opportunity to take photos beside the aircraft.
Each aircraft has specific operating limitations, including maximum occupant weight requirements. Please provide an accurate weight at the time of booking so we can allocate a suitable aircraft for your flight. Where the aircraft assigned for the experience is not suitable, an alternative aircraft may be offered subject to availability. Any applicable difference in cost will be confirmed and arranged before the flight.
This experience is valid for one participant. Only the booked participant may enter the aircraft unless another arrangement has been approved in advance.
Spectators are welcome and may watch the aircraft depart and return from the designated viewing area. Access to operational areas is restricted, and all visitors must follow staff instructions. Spectator access may be limited due to safety or airport operations.
Flights are weather dependent and may be delayed, shortened, rerouted or rescheduled if conditions are unsuitable. Wingman Academies will contact you if a change is required. Weather-related changes are made for safety and do not result in the loss of the experience.
Wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and enclosed, flat shoes. Avoid high heels, loose scarves, bulky jackets, hats and unsecured accessories. Sunglasses are recommended.
Bookings must be made at least 12 hours in advance. The participant’s accurate weight must be provided when booking. Final aircraft allocation is subject to aircraft availability and operational requirements.
This experience takes place at Wingman Academies, 4 Compass Road, Jandakot Airport, WA 6164. Free public parking is available on site.
