If you have ever wanted to experience the thrill of flying, your time is now. The Aerochute is one of the best forms of flying to take the sky and likely to be completely different to anything you have experienced before.

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 surrounding areas, depending on your chosen location this may be the You Yang Hills, Melbourne City or 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!

The aerochute can fly in Australia up to 5000 feet legally, however there are some space limitations when you fly closer to a major city. You will be able to fly up to 1500 feet at our Werribee location. The height at which you may fly will vary from state to state.

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.

Please Note: You are welcome to purchase an aerochute trial instructional flight in Brisbane, however your experience must be redeemed after October. We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause.
