HANDS-ON AEROBATICS (1hr)
Upon your arrival at Red Baron HQ, Bankstown, you will climb into a
flight-suit and prepare to board. Your instructor will strap you securely
into the Robin 2160 aerobatic training aircraft and fasten your headphones.
There will be plenty of time for your family and friends to take photographs
of you as you prepare for your flight.
Your instructor will proceed to give you a briefing on the aircraft’s
controls and operations. When you feel secure, your pilot will climb in
beside you and prepare the plane for take off. You will be able to hear all
the calls to air traffic control and speak to your pilot through the
intercom.
As this is an instructional flight the pilot will explain what is happening
each step of the way. Once airborne he will explain the basic mechanics of
flight and show you how the aircraft behaves at different attitudes. Once
you are confident with this information it will be your turn to take control
of the aircraft. Your instructor will hand over control of the plane to you
and guide you through level flight.
But this flight isn’t just about flying the plane straight and level or
doing basic turns. You’ll also get the chance to do more complicated and
exciting manoeuvres like loops and rolls. By the end of the flight you’ll be
confident enough to do these manoeuvres without the instructor even touching
the controls. You may even get the chance to fly the plane back to Bankstown
Airport where your instructor will talk you through the approach and
landing.
Once you’re back at Red Baron HQ you’ll be hard pressed to stop smiling for
the rest of the day and we hope it is an experience you will remember for
the rest of your life.
PRICE: $465.00 inc GST per flight / 1 person per flight.
FORMATION: The formation flight option is NOT available with the Hands On flight.
