Try and fly day on once again

The Central Coast Aero Club will run its very popular Try & Fly Day once again on Sunday, April 6.

In previous years, the day has proved to be wildly popular, and sees the club’s entire training fleet and every instructor booked solid all day.

Clients participating in the trial flights are very surprised that they can actually fly hands-on in their very first flight, saying it is an incredible feeling soaring through the skies while at the controls.

Most of the flight will be performed by the client, although, of course, the very experienced instructors are always at the ready with their own full set of controls.

The scenic joy flights are more about enjoying the incredible scenery while the pilot does all the hard work.

For those who would rather stay on the ground, the club will be running an exciting scenario in its approved flight simulator.

Participants will be in flight over Sydney Harbour when the engine stops and will be tested to see if they can safely land the plane if the pilot is incapacitated.

The day is run just once a year and presents an ideal opportunity to have a go at flying an aeroplane at an affordable price.

Flying instructors will be on hand to go through what the process is to get a licence and what an aviation career might look like, and how to get there, all in a pressure free setting.  

Several pricing options, all discounted heavily on the regular price, will be available including price trial flights from $120, simulator sessions for $35 and joy flights for up to three people for $250.

Bookings are essential and need to be made at ccaeroclub.square.site
