Introductory flight (Melbourne)

Your light aircraft introductory flight commences with a classroom briefing on the functions of the aircraft's controls, plus all you need to know to enable you to control the aircraft on your first lesson. After briefing, the instructor will take you through the pre-flight inspection on your training aircraft before you take your place in the pilot's seat. Your instructor will talk you through the start up, taxiing and take-off, then you take to the sky for your first real flying experience!

The flight is to the south of Moorabbin Airport and lasts approximately 30 minutes. During this time you will have hands-on experience in flying the aeroplane. You will fly up to an exhilarating 2000-3000ft on your trial instructional flight! Following the flight there will be an opportunity for you to discuss any questions you have on flight training with your instructor.
