Trial Instructional (Tandem) Flights.

Trial Instructional Flights (TIFs) give everyone a chance to see for themselves just how much fun it is to fly one of these aircraft.

Flights last about 40 minutes (usually a bit longer) and cost $220. We provide helmets, headset and intercom. We suggest you wear appropriate shoes as you may get cold feet in sandals and thongs. Bring a warm jacket and gloves, in case the day turns cold.

We usually fly out over Lake Illawarra, down the coast past all the fantastic beaches towards Kiama then back through the Jamberoo Valley if conditions allow. Alternatively, out to the coast and then northwards following the beaches, towards Wollongong and return. Either way, it's a flight to remember for both the scenery as well as how easy the microlight aircraft is to fly.

Prior to your flight, your instructor will brief you on how to steer the aircraft with the dual controls. During the flight, you will be given a chance to take over the controls of the aircraft, so that you can see for yourself just how easy flying a microlight aircraft really is. Your TIF will be done from the rear seat using our dual controls and your temporary student membership of the HGFA allows for up to 3 hours of dual instruction. After your TIF all further instruction is done with you in the front seat.

If, after enjoying your flight, you want more details of how to go on and achieve a Pilot's Certificate, just ask your friendly instructor for more details.
