One Hour Trial Flight - Whangarei
Fly a real aircraft today and live your dream. Trial flights are an awesome way to introduce a person to the sheer joy of flying. They are an interactive, hands-on experience guaranteed to quicken the pulse and inspire anyone who has wondered what it would be like to fly an aeroplane themselves.
Highlights
- Take control of the aircraft yourself.
- Learn take off, landing,climbing, turning and straight and level flight.
- Experienced instructors.
- This is a flying lesson and not a scenic flight. You take control under the guidance of your instructor.
- Safe and fun for all ages 11 and up.
- Weight limit 100Kg
The flight starts with a thorough pre-flight briefing where we explain the aircraft and it’s safety features and systems.
Then its into the cockpit to do our pre-takeoff safety checks. Once these are complete we taxi onto the runway and blast off for a flight that will change your life forever.
These flights are very hands on and you will get to fly the aircraft yourself under the expert guidance of one of our experienced flight instructors.
We will guide you through take off, straight and level flight, climbing and descending, medium turns and steep turns. You will also be able to have a go at the approach and landing and complete some touch and goes.
That’s where we touch down briefly and then take off again.We must stress that these flights are not scenic, charter or joy flights. Trial flights are designed to give the recipient an introduction to aviation and are considered a training flight.
A trial flight is an exciting, hands on experience, suitable for ages 11 and upwards. For safety and operational reasons there is a 100kg weight limit and the maximum height is 6Ft 2 inches.
Participants must be in reasonable health and be mobile.

1hour flight
Thank you sooo much for the experience of a life time. My son enjoyed his 1 hour flight out over Whangarei harbour and piloting the little air craft.
