Overview

This flight will take you all the way to Mount Warning and the biggest erosion caldera in the southern hemisphere and one of the largest calderas in the world. We will climb to over 5000 feet to have an elevated view of the rim of the caldera. From that altitude views of the Great Dividing Range and the Gold Coast are spectacular. On the way back we will fly over the valleys to Brunswick Heads and then low along the beach and back to the Tyagarah airstrip. This is a stunning flight over the hinterland and we recommend this trip for anyone wanting to experience microlight flying. The Trial Introductory Flight might be your first open air experience but it is also your first lesson in a microlight aircraft. It is your chance to experience the truly amazing sensation of flight in one of these small, yet incredibly robust, flying machines. You will experience for yourself the sensation of open-cockpit flight in a small aircraft. The school's microlights fly at around 45-60 mph, no faster than a sedate cruise on a motorcycle, and we will fly at around 1000-2000 feet, so you'll have plenty of time to take in the unrivalled views you get from the back seat. All the equipment you need for your trial flight - flying suit, gloves, helmet and intercom headset - will be provided. The Trial Introductory Flight includes comprehensive pre-flight briefing, description of the aircraft and how to board it. We will then give you a basic explanation of procedures and controls. During the flight, if you wish, you may take control of the aircraft if the weather conditions are suitable.
