Großartiges Flugerlebnis

Mainland Air bietet mit dem Trial Flight eine außergewöhnliche Flugerfahrung, die alle meine Erwartungen übertroffen hat. Die Flugzeit von 20 Minuten wurde äußerst intensiv genutzt. Aufgrund des regnerischen Wetters flogen wir nicht bis zur Küste, sondern kreisten um den Flugplatz (Dunedin International Airport). Wir flogen zwei touch-and-go Landungen und zwei enge 360°-Kurven in Schräglage. Ich habe mich mit meinem Co-Piloten Ruben jederzeit sicher gefühlt. Er hat sehr ruhig und verständlich die Anleitungen gegeben, damit ich die Flugmanöver ausführen konnte, ohne dass ich zuvor Flugerfahrung hatte. Insgesamt bekommt man bei diesem Angebot sehr viel für sein Geld geboten.

Einzigartig! Man übernimmt 90% des Fluges

Gemeinsam mit einem Piloten findet man sich 5 Minuten nach Ankunft im Cockpit einer kleinen Maschine wieder und dann heißt es: Du übernimmst 90% dieses Fluges inklusive Start und Landung. - vollkommen ohne Vorerfahrung. Der Flug macht sehr viel Spaß und bei gutem Wetter kann man wunderbar entlang der Küste fliegen! Der Pilot war äußerst nett und ich habe mich zu jedem Zeitpunkt sicher gefühlt. Absolut empfehlenswert und sicherlich auch ein super Geschenk!
