35mn Extra 300 Aircraft Extreme Aerobatic Flights

LOCATIONS:
• Kemble, Cirencester, (Gloucestershire)

Take to the skies for an adrenaline-fuelled flight in the incredible Extra 300 aerobatics aircraft.

Your activity starts with tea and coffee and then you are kitted out into flying suits with name badges, military bone-domes and gloves. Next it's time to get to know your aircraft with a safety brief at the aircraft in which you will be told about the cockpit controls. During your pre-flight briefing, lasting approximately 35 minutes, you will cover a safety/parachute brief, how to fly the aircraft, aerobatics and an introduction to air combat manoeuvres. You will also be shown a short video. Moving onto your personal sortie pre-brief with your instructor pilot, you will discuss your flight preferences and then it's time to strap on your parachute and take to the skies. You will sit in the front of the aircraft, and your instructor sits in the back. During your 35 minutes (25 minutes airborne) in the aircraft you will learn the following techniques: - Take-off and ‘get to know’ the aeroplane effects of controls - turning, climbing and descending - Aerobatics introduction - as mild or wild as you want - Student ‘hands on stick’ time (e.g. loop, aileron roll etc) - Return to Base After exiting the aircraft and your personal debrief with the instructor pilot, your experience will come to an end with your flight certificate being signed. Only now can you catch your breath.
