Take the controls of a light aircraft on a one hour introductory flight from Archerfield Airport in Brisbane, guided by an experienced flight instructor.
Treat someone to their first hour at the controls of an aircraft with a one hour introductory flight from Archerfield Airport, just 20 minutes south of Brisbane CBD. Your day starts on the ground with a full pre flight briefing and a safety check of the aircraft, so you know exactly what to expect before you climb aboard.
Once you are in the air, your experienced instructor hands over the controls and talks you through flying the local area, asking only for what you can comfortably manage. Most people find it surprisingly easy, and there is no pressure to be perfect: your instructor takes care of the landing while you simply enjoy the view. Every minute of flying time counts towards a Pilot Certificate, Recreational Pilot Licence, Private Pilot Licence or even a Commercial Pilot Licence, so it is a real first step for anyone who has ever dreamed of learning to fly. You will also take home free HD footage of your flight to share.
Family and friends may watch from the ground under supervision from staff.
In extreme weather conditions the tour may be cancelled if safety is a concern, you will be contacted by the provider and rescheduled.
Comfortable clothes including enclosed shoes. Please bring sunglasses and a cap. Please remove all ear rings.
This experience is located at Hangar 605 Victa Avenue, Archerfield Airport QLD 4108.
