Einzigartig! Man übernimmt 90% des Fluges
Gemeinsam mit einem Piloten findet man sich 5 Minuten nach Ankunft im Cockpit einer kleinen Maschine wieder und dann heißt es: Du übernimmst 90% dieses Fluges inklusive Start und Landung. - vollkommen ohne Vorerfahrung. Der Flug macht sehr viel Spaß und bei gutem Wetter kann man wunderbar entlang der Küste fliegen! Der Pilot war äußerst nett und ich habe mich zu jedem Zeitpunkt sicher gefühlt. Absolut empfehlenswert und sicherlich auch ein super Geschenk!

Fantastic
This is so worth the money. Everyone is friendly and supportive. Everyone should come and be the pilot. I’d do it again.

Fantastic experience
This was my first flying experience and it was fantastic. The pilot with me during my flight was really friendly, informative and really made the experience for me. I’d highly recommend this experience if passing by or in the Dunedin area!

Großartiges Flugerlebnis
Mainland Air bietet mit dem Trial Flight eine außergewöhnliche Flugerfahrung, die alle meine Erwartungen übertroffen hat. Die Flugzeit von 20 Minuten wurde äußerst intensiv genutzt. Aufgrund des regnerischen Wetters flogen wir nicht bis zur Küste, sondern kreisten um den Flugplatz (Dunedin International Airport). Wir flogen zwei touch-and-go Landungen und zwei enge 360°-Kurven in Schräglage. Ich habe mich mit meinem Co-Piloten Ruben jederzeit sicher gefühlt. Er hat sehr ruhig und verständlich die Anleitungen gegeben, damit ich die Flugmanöver ausführen konnte, ohne dass ich zuvor Flugerfahrung hatte. Insgesamt bekommt man bei diesem Angebot sehr viel für sein Geld geboten.
