Learn To Fly
Learn to fly in Auckland, NZ! It's the dream of every wannabe pilot or aviation enthusiast - soaring high in the sky, with help and encouragement from your instructor. Learn the skills needed to fly a Grumman or Cessna while enjoying the sights! 30 minutes of you in control - what an experience!
This is your opportunity to experience the thrill and excitement of flying an aircraft for the first time!
When you arrive at the airfield your instructor will give you a pre-flight briefing, explaining the aircraft controls and any safety procedures. You will be flying in either an American Grumman or a Cessna 152 aircraft. Your briefing will take 10-15 minutes, after which your flight begins!

It was a fantastic experience. At the beginning when I was in control of take off I was scared to death! But I had trust in my instructor who was very professional. Now that the experience is over it's such a great feeling to have done it. After flying in such a small plane and being in control of the airplane, I'll never be scared to fly in an airline plane again!
