Trial Introductory Flight

Basair offers two introductory flights. One is a thirty minute flight to get a feel for what it's like to learn to fly. The other is a one hour flight that introduces you not only to the handling of the aircraft, but also to cross country navigation.

30 minute introductory flight
This flight takes the form of a thirty minute "mini" flying lesson. You'll fly with a professional flying instructor in a fully certified training aircraft. If you feel comfortable, you will actually do most of the flying during the flight as well! In addition to the flight we will explain the pre-flight inspection, get you to help the pilot check the aircraft, and then you can run through the checklists before you start the engine!

$90 for a thirty minute flight - plus you receive a voucher valued at $20 to use towards your first lesson. The trial flight therefore effectively costs only $70!

1 hour introductory flight
If you are really keen to see what learning to fly is all about then this flight gives you an excellent introduction. You will cover everything that we do on our 30 minute flight, but you will be doing this while on a short cross country exercise. You will travel to the northern suburbs of Sydney, seeing Sydney Olympic Park on the way, before an exciting arrival back at Bankstown Airport.

$170 for a one hour flight - plus you receive a voucher valued at $40 to use towards your first lesson. The trial flight therefore effectively costs only $130!
