Reviews
I would say this is such a valuable flight experience. I love it very much. Actually, I have a lot of control, which is out of my expectations. This is my first time controlling the flight, and I can even take off by myself, amazing!!! My tutor, Justin, is very patient, and he encouraged me a lot during the flight.
My son loved his trial flight on a Cessna to Rottnest and back to Jandakot Airport. Great instructor and great value for money. It was his best birthday present ever.
It was a lot of fun, and the instructors were all very kind!
