Become one step closer to reaping the rewards of having a pilot licence after completing three training flights in a light aircraft. With classroom briefings, pre-flight inspections and over two hours of dual-instruction, you'll become more than confident to tackle the world of flying.
Your experience begins with a classroom briefing on the functions of the aircraft's controls, followed by a pre-flight inspection on your training aircraft. As you take a seat inside, your instructor will talk you through the start up, taxiing and take-off procedures, before you lift off into your first flying lesson. During the 30 minute flight, you'll feel all the sensations of flying an aircraft, and soar up to an exhilarating 2000-3000ft. Following the flight, there will be an opportunity for you to record your flight in your personal pilot logbook and you will be given an aviation textbook to read prior to your next adventure in the sky. Your second and third flights will follow a similar format with a pre-flight briefing and inspection followed by a 60 minute flight. You will have the benefit of your own pilot headset and logbook, which are part of the essential tools required to becoming a pilot.
Please note: Due to the popularity of this experience, weekend appointments book well in advance. If you have a weekend date in mind please give advance notice.
Due to COVID 19 participants are requested to attend alone if possible, if someone needs to accompany them please limit to one person.
The price quoted is for one person. You will be one-on-one with your instructor during your trial flight.
Flying may be cancelled in certain weather conditions, which would make the flight uncomfortable for a novice. Please call the flying school if in any doubt. Any cancelled flights will be rescheduled for a later date.
Comfortable clothing and footwear is required to enable you to climb in and out of aircraft. High heels are not recommended.
Instructors are approved by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority and are members of the Aviation Safety Foundation of Australia.

That's 10% of the Australian population! When we started 'doing' experiences in 2001, Facebook didn't exist; the iPod had just been invented; John Howard was Prime Minister; and Destiny's Child were popular (yikes!). We've been at this business of experiences for quite a while, so put your trust in us to show you a good time.
We want you to have the most enriching experience possible, so if this means swapping your jet boat experience for wine tasting then we've got you covered. Simply exchange online or contact our Customer Experience Team and we'll do the work for you.
We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in. We honour the purchase price of our experiences for 18 months. If you book your experience after this time and the price of the experience increases you can either pay the difference or exchange it for another experience free of charge.
We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That's why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author's experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
