Pilot for a Day

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have control of your very own aircraft? This amazing adventure puts you in the pilot's seat of a Cessna 152 for the ultimate aerial voyage of discovery.

Start with a tour of the flight training facilities before heading to the classroom for a fun and informative pre flight briefing, which takes you through basic aircraft control, instrument orientation, air traffic control terminology as well as airport operations and safety procedures.

Then you're ready for pre-flight inspections and checks before the moment you've been waiting for - lift off! Enjoy a whole 45 minutes of flight time as you discover what it's like to taxi, talk to the tower, take off, climb, cruise, turn, descend and land, while getting a bird’s eye view of Brisbane.

On your return to base, celebrate with your fellow pilots. A tasty breakfast completes your session, together with a photo laminated PILOT FOR A DAY certificate.
