From briefing to sky-shifting flight
An aerobatic flight is more than a quick thrill. You are briefed, guided and flown by an experienced pilot, with the route and manoeuvres shaped by the aircraft, weather and the experience available at your chosen airfield.
Briefing
Meet the team, understand the aircraft and learn what to expect before you step out to fly.
Climb out
Take off from the airfield and climb into open sky, with the view widening beneath the wings.
Aerobatics
Depending on the flight, aircraft and conditions, this may include loops, rolls, wingovers or steep turns.
Recovery
The aircraft settles back into level flight before returning to the airfield and touching down.
Aerobatic flights are planned around the aircraft, pilot, weather and passenger. The exact manoeuvres can vary, and the pilot will always keep safety and suitability at the centre of the flight.
Some of the manoeuvres
When the sky stops sitting still
Exact manoeuvres vary by aircraft, pilot, weather and passenger suitability, but these are some of the sensations that make aerobatic flying feel so different from ordinary flight.
Explore manoeuvresLoop
The aircraft climbs, curves over the top and brings the horizon rolling back into view.
Feels like: the world falling away, then returning beneath you.Roll
A clean rotation around the aircraft’s length, where sky and ground trade places in seconds.
Feels like: the horizon spinning around the cockpit.Wingover
A sweeping climb and turn that changes direction with a dramatic shift in view.
Feels like: the aircraft carving a curve through open sky.See the sky move
A short taste of the flight
Watch the aircraft leave ordinary flight behind. The video gives you a quick hit of the movement, noise and sky-shifting energy that words can only partly describe — a glimpse of the climb, the roll and the moment the horizon stops behaving.
Aircraft vary by airfield
The machines that make it possible
Aerobatic experiences are usually flown in small, responsive light aircraft rather than large passenger aircraft or fighter jets. The exact aircraft depends on the location, but each one is chosen for the way it handles the sky.
Pitts Special style flights
Compact, purposeful and full of character, the Pitts Special gives the section a true aerobatic feel: close to the action, quick to respond and unmistakably different from ordinary flying.
See where you can flyAerobat trainers
Aircraft such as Cessna Aerobat types can offer a more familiar light-aircraft feel, while still being capable of carefully flown aerobatic manoeuvres.
Explore aircraftLight aerobatic aircraft
Some locations may use other responsive two-seat aircraft designed for training, touring or aerobatic instruction, depending on the experience available.
Explore aircraftChosen for the flight
Aircraft choice affects the feel of the experience, from cockpit view and climb-out to how sharply the aircraft responds through each manoeuvre.

For the curious, the brave and the almost convinced
Aerobatic flying is a genuine thrill, but it is not reserved for experts or daredevils. The right flight is shaped around the aircraft, the weather, the pilot’s judgement and the person in the passenger seat.
Thrill seekers
For people who want more than a scenic flight and like the idea of feeling the aircraft climb, turn, roll and recover.
First-time flyers
You do not need flying experience. The pilot handles the aircraft and guides the flight from briefing to landing.
Gift experiences
A strong choice for milestone birthdays, retirement gifts, adventure days or anyone who already seems to own enough stuff.
Nervous but curious
The experience is exciting, but it is not reckless. Suitability, conditions and passenger comfort all matter.
Many people feel a mix of excitement and nerves before an aerobatic flight. That is part of the appeal. The important thing is understanding what the voucher covers, where it can be used, and how the pilot, aircraft and weather shape what happens on the day.

Questions before you fly
Aerobatic flight FAQs
A few practical answers before you book. Exact details can vary by airfield, aircraft, weather and passenger suitability, but these are the main things most people want to understand first.
Do I need any flying experience?
No. Aerobatic flight experiences are designed for passengers, not qualified pilots. You will be briefed before the flight and the pilot remains in control of the aircraft.
What manoeuvres might I experience?
The exact manoeuvres can vary, but aerobatic flights may include sensations such as loops, rolls, wingovers, steep turns or other aircraft-appropriate manoeuvres, depending on the flight, conditions and passenger suitability.
Is the flight weather dependent?
Yes. Aerobatic flights depend on suitable flying conditions. If the weather is not right on the day, the provider will normally arrange another suitable date rather than forcing the flight.
Can the voucher be used at different locations?
The current voucher is intended to cover the participating aerobatic flight locations. Availability, aircraft and scheduling can vary by airfield, so it is worth checking the location options before booking or redeeming.
Is it suitable as a gift?
Yes, it can make a strong gift for birthdays, milestones, retirement, Christmas or anyone who would enjoy a more unusual flying experience. It is especially suited to people who like adventure rather than ordinary sightseeing alone.
Will it feel too intense?
Aerobatic flying is meant to be exciting, but it is not reckless. The pilot, aircraft, weather and passenger comfort all shape what happens on the day. Anyone with concerns should check the provider’s guidance before booking.
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothing is usually best, with sensible flat shoes. Avoid anything bulky or restrictive. The provider may give specific instructions depending on the airfield and aircraft.
Are there age, weight or health restrictions?
Restrictions may apply and can vary by aircraft or provider. Always check the latest voucher terms and provider guidance before booking, especially if the passenger has a medical condition, mobility concern or is unsure about suitability.
