Experience Code: FRF251

Description

Description

For 20 minutes of fun, climb onboard our light aircraft for a thrilling plane flight down the coast of Redcliffe, near Brisbane. If this isn’t enough to get your blood pumping, your pilot will let you take the controls and have a go at flying the plane! An exciting introductory aircraft adventure.

This light aircraft introductory flight is perfect for anyone who is looking for a short but very sweet flying experience. Not only will you experience the thrill of zipping around above the ground in a light aircraft, but you get to take the controls and have a go at flying one too!

We have three aircraft from which to choose from – the Fly Synthesis Texan (a fixed-wing aircraft in which you will be sitting next to your pilot), the Airborne Microlight Trike or the Ramphos Amphibious Trike (powered hang-gliders in which you will be sitting behind your pilot). If you choose to fly in the amphibious trike you will be taking off from and landing in the water!

After you are strapped into your seat we take off for a quick trip down the Redcliffe foreshore. You will be able to look down at the shops and bustling parks and beaches spread out beneath you. Then we return for a couple of hot laps around the aerodrome. Whether you have chosen to fly in our high-tech carbon fibre sports aircraft or in one of the agile and exciting trikes, these hot laps are sure to get your blood pumping!

However your experience is not complete until you have had a go at flying the aircraft yourself! Take the controls under the guidance of your experienced pilot and see what it’s actually like to fly one of these light aircraft. You will be able to have a go at flying the aircraft for approximately half of your flight, which means you will be at the controls for a full 10 minutes!

This light aircraft introductory flight should leave you grinning from ear to ear and packed full of adrenalin. Perhaps you will even decide to become a pilot!
