Description

The Aerochute is one of the best and safest forms of flying to take to the sky. The parachute is your wing and is open before you get off the ground. If you’re ready for the sensation of your life, let the adventure begin……!

Your experience begins with a pre-flight briefing. Your instructor will explain the aircraft controls, and outline the fundamentals of piloting an Aerochute. Then its out to the runway for pre-flight checks. After the checks have been completed its time to strap in for take off. Once in the air you can take in the beautiful views then have the option to take the controls and fly for yourself and even do a touch and go on the runway!

Your Trial Introductory Flight is your very first entry into your Pilot Log Book if you choose to continue to have lessons – so it could well be the start of a life long love affair with the sky. 

Location

Richmond - 60km north west of Sydney - NSW.

Available Dates

The trial flights are conducted between 6.30am and 10.30am as this is the best time of the day to fly as it offers the calmest conditions. After a 10min safety briefing you and your instructor will be skyward bound. Flights take between 15-20minutes.  

As a guide you will be at the venue between 1-1.5 hours, including a safety briefing, tuition, 15-20 minutes instructional flying time and debrief.
