Activity Code: AERO100
Overview
Your Aerochute experience begins with a pre-flight briefing. Your instructor will explain the aircraft controls, and outline the fundamentals of piloting an Aerochute. Then it's 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 of the You Yang Hills along with views of the city of Melbourne, the coastline and bay. You 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!

Reviews
"I was looking for something 'different' to give my partner for a Christmas present and saw the Aerochute activity on the Godo Website. He had the best time and is still talking about how great it was. I've used Godo for previous activities and have never had any problems and will continue to use your website for future gifts."
