Step into the cockpit for a hands-on 45-minute trial flight over Perth. With a qualified flight instructor beside you, you will take the controls and experience what it is like to fly a real aircraft.
Experience the excitement of flying a real aircraft during a hands-on 45-minute trial flight over Perth. Your experience begins with a pre-flight safety and aircraft briefing, where a qualified flight instructor will introduce you to the aircraft, explain the basic 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 and the surrounding coastline. No previous flying experience is required. The experience concludes with a post-flight debrief and an opportunity to take photos beside the aircraft.

Please provide an accurate weight at the time of booking so we can allocate a suitable aircraft for your flight.
