Have you ever envisioned yourself as a pilot, navigating an aircraft through the open sky? The Trial Introductory Flight offers you an exceptional opportunity to turn that dream into reality. Experience the thrill of taking the controls of a light aircraft under the expert guidance of an experienced instructor, all while enjoying breathtaking views of Melbourne. Embrace this chance to explore your passion for aviation! Please be advised that trial introductory flights are generally scheduled to take place on weekends.
During the Trial Introductory Flight, you will gain valuable insights into aircraft controls and operations. Once airborne, your instructor will demonstrate essential flying maneuvers, including straight and level flight, turns, climbs, and descents. You will then have the exciting opportunity to take the controls yourself and apply what you’ve learned under their expert guidance.Â
Â
The objective of the Trial Introductory Flight is to provide you with a foundational understanding of what flying a light aircraft feels like and to offer insight into the flight training process. While this experience can be a memorable one-time event, it is conducted in accordance with the approved CASA flying syllabus. As such, it can be credited towards your flight training should you choose to pursue a Private Pilot Licence (PPL), or Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL). Embrace this opportunity to explore your passion for aviation!
