Hands on Trial Flight With Aerobatics - 45 Minutes
Live your dream and feel the exhilaration as you take the controls and experience flight from the pilot seat. On this very special flight, your pilot can take the controls and show you some aerobatics!
In a Cessna 152, with an expert Instructor beside you, you will taxi out to the runway, pilot the aircraft during take off and actually fly - WOW! You can even ask for some hair raising aerobatics!
This is not just a joy flight - this is considered your very first lesson! Your Airline Pilot in a 747 started the same way!
It all begins with your pre-flight briefing. Your Instructor will explain the aircraft controls, and outline the fundamentals of piloting a light aircraft. You will taxi the aircraft out onto the runway, pilot it during take off and fly! Weather permitting, your instructor may take over the controls and show the world from up side down! Loops, barrel rolls and stall turns will give you the chance to see the sights from a new perspective.
Your Trial Introductory Flight is your very first entry into your Pilot Log Book if you choose to continue to fly – so it could well be the start of a life long love – or even a career. This is an experience not to be missed.

The flight experience was fantastic, my instructor Trent Donovan was very friendly, knowledgeable and most definitely loves what he does. Despite a reasonably long waiting period before take off as there was a fire in the vicinity of Jandakot and the bombers were given priority, it was well worth the wait. Unfortunately due to the fire being in the acrobatic area we could not experience the trill of voltige but we flew for a good 45 minutes from Perth to Freo, then off to trigg and back around...The flight experience was fantastic, my instructor Trent Donovan was very friendly, knowledgeable and most definitely loves what he does.

Young pilot was very professional and it was an enjoyable experience
-
Trent was my pilot. He has 4 yrs experience with the Aero Club and was very professional in both his interpersonal skills and flying skills. Although we had fairly strong winds to contend with the aeroplane handled it well. The winds added that extra bit of spice to the flight. It was good to get behind the controls and do most of the flying. All in all it was a very enjoyable time. I would truley recommend this as a gift to anyone young or old.
-
I found it extremely enjoyable and very free as I pretty much controlled the whole thing from take-off to landing besides doing the aerobatics but other then that I was in complete control. It really helped me decide into getting my CPL and I now know what my next goal is after my motorbike licence and that's to get my Pilot's license so I could possibly take others on such great experiences myself.
-
Was a great flight. Pilot was very confident and helpful
-
My instructor, Mike, was the perfect host as an instructor. He let me know what was happening at every stage, explaining what we were about to do. Then, I was able to take the controls and had an aerial experience I will never forget.
-
My trial flight was great,the people there are very organised and friendly.
-
Great experience....The pilots and staff at the Royal Aero Club were fantastic.
-
I would definitely recommend the experience regardless of whether you have an interest in flying or not. It's not everyday you have the change to pilot a plane from take off, fly out to Rottnest, zip over to Fremantle, to almost coming in to land. Definately a buzz.
-
i found everything very professional and timely
-

The flight was brillant and would recomend to anyone who is stuck for a great present.

Her pilot was awesome, he went through every step and made sure she was comfortable before he did it. Thanks heaps!
-
Very good, had fun, staff were very friendly
-
Pilot was a great explained everything and enjoyed the flight.
-
Wow, what a blast! Much better than I expected and a lot more hands on. This was actually flying the plane by myself including take-off and landing. Also loved the aerobatics. I would do this all the time if I had the chance.
-
Fantastic!
-
The experience was a present for my partner. He thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.We are definitely thinking of booking this flight as a Christmas present for our two sons. My partner would like to go again in the Tiger Moth plane. Thank you.
-
Fantastic. I would recommend this to anyone that has an interest in flying or is a thrill seeker. The pilot was brilliant and made sure I was in my comfort zone at all times. Its making me seriously consider getting my private pilot license.
-
The aerobatic trial flight was a terrific buzz, great value for money. The flight included loops, stall turns, barrel rolls and spins. All was made all the more enjoyable by the Royal Aero Club's instructor Mike Thomas. A highly recommended thrill ride.
-
Best experience so far this year, really hands on:)
-
Hey guys just want to say that i had the most exhilarating experience of my life with my pilot doing the most awesome acrobatics ever. I was allowed to take off fly to Rotto and fly back plus give a hand in landing the plane I was flying, it was the best!!! Thanks RedBalloon I'll definitely be going to u guys again for a great day!
-
My Experience was sensational, would highly reccommend to anyone looking for something different. The Aero Club were professional, hassle free and very organised, My pilot was fun to be flying with
