Aerobatic Flight Experiences

Aerobatic Flights: Everything you need to know

Flying a helicopter and taking on the hover challenge is all well and good, but it’s a bit… horizontal.

So is flying a plane in a straight line. Dull as dishwater. If you want that little bit more from your flying experience, an aerobatic flight should be just the ticket. These fantastically nimble planes can pull off some seriously impressive moves! Pick up a voucher for an aerobatic flying experience, and you’ll enjoy swooping and looping through the air thanks to your qualified instructor and pilot. If he or she feels you’re ready to go one stage further, you’ll be given the chance to take the controls and fly it yourself.

Spectators are welcome to settle your nerves before you fly and take photos while you’re in the plane. Aerobatic flying is a brilliant way to treat yourself to fulfilling your ambition, and is an ideal gift for the extreme sports fan who thinks they have seen it all!

You can choose to fly at a whole range of locations including, Warwickshire, Surrey, Manchester, Blackpool, Dorset, Lancashire and Leicestershire. You don’t have to book a date today: just choose your voucher and it will ‘wing’ its way to you - totally free!

FAQs

Q: Who can fly an aerobatic plane?
A: Pretty much anyone who doesn’t have a medical condition can fly, although pregnant ladies aren’t allowed (we’re reliably informed that it’s better to give birth on solid ground than 2,000 feet in the air). Some locations can accommodate disabled pilots. There will be maximum height and weight restrictions in place because these little planes are poky; shoe-horning yourself into the cockpit can be a challenge in itself (another reason pregnant ladies should give it a miss). There’s also no age restriction, which is either cool or scary depending on your point of view.
Q: What kind of stunts will I experience?
A: During your stunt flight, you’ll experience the thrill of rolling through the air and doing loop-the-loops, figure-of-eights, hairpin turns and whatever else your co-pilot decides to subject you to. If you want to have a go at flying, you’ll be given the chance to take control of the plane. Your instructor will do most of the hairy stuff though, so you can simply sit back and enjoy the ride during the really ace bits!
Q: How long does the flight last?
A: Aerobatic flights are great value and last anything up to half an hour. You’ll need to allow a bit longer than that for safety briefings and pre-flight prep.
