Microlight Flying Intro Flights
Auckland's West Coast Beaches Flight Experience
Your experience starts with a pre-flight briefing covering the basics of the controls and operation of our two seat, dual control trainer.
Once seated and strapped into the plane, hands on the controls getting a feel for things while your instructor taxis the aircraft and rolls for take-off. Soon during the climb out you'll hear the words, “YOU HAVE CONTROL!”
Flying over Woodhill Forrest and then the black sands of Muriwai Beach, we fly South along the beach past the Takapu Gannett Colony, Maori Bay, O'Neil's Beach, Bethells Beach, Anawhata, Piha & finally Karekare before turning back North. Your instructor will guide you through all control inputs and will be glad to take the controls at any time if you feel uncomfortable or need a break.
Flight Duration is approximately 45 minutes covering a distance of around 90kms and the whole experience will take about an hour.
Bookme Special: Worth $319 from $199.

Thanks for the review, Edi. It was great to fly with you - you're a natural at this and I think it would be great if you could find somewhere in Switzerland to continue learning to fly. Hope to see you in the air someday, soon. Cheers, Richard

Perfect
I´ve done a lot of stuff in New Zealand but this was the most awesome one. Well spent money compared to the price! Must do if you never flew a plane by yourself and want to see the beautiful coast of the north island.
