If you've ever dreamed of piloting an aircraft or taking your first step towards becoming a pilot, this learn-to-fly experience is perfect for you. Your qualified flight instructor will explain how to control the aircraft, what to expect in the cockpit, and answer any questions you may have before you hop aboard then, as soon as the plane is ready, you will strap in, start-up, and take off.Under the guidance of your instructor, you'll get to fly the aircraft, including getting to choose the route and when you're not in control, you can enjoy the view and take a few photos. The time spent flying counts towards your Recreational Pilot Certificate, making it a brilliant experience for budding aviators, and you can even bring your friends and family to watch you soar, take photos from below or just relax at the Aero Club overlooking the airfield and the Great Dividing Range.
