How To Get Started
The first step: Trial Flights
A Trial Flight is not compulsory, but it can be a good idea, particularly if you have little flying experience or are not sure whether flying is for you. It is an informal, non-committing flight to let you to see for yourself what flying an aeroplane is really like - and how it feels to be at an aircraft's controls!
There are two types of Trial Flights we offer.
Alpha 160 Trial Flight*
This is taken in one of our Alpha 160 two-seater trainers and is twenty minutes in duration. This Trial Flight is $79.
Cessna 172 Trial Flight*
This is taken in one of our Cessna 172 club aircraft. Its four seats mean that while you take control, a pair of passengers can be there to share the scenery. It is also twenty minutes long. A four-seater Trial Flight is $99.
The next step: the Starter Pack
