36 years since I went solo as a 16 year old, I got to blow ot the cobwebs and do a 1 hour trial flight. It was excellent. The instructor I was with was top norch fully pro. Once he got a feel for my level competence, he let me at it, taxi, take-off, landings...we nipped down to Serpentine and did 4 circuits there. He handled all the procedural studd, radios etc and coach me along with reminders of things like speeds, altitudes etc at different parts of the circuit. Was excellent. Inhadnt actually flown in over 30 years and was pleasantly suprised how quickly it came back! Give it a go, its tops.

I had an absolutely amazing trial flight experience at WA Royal Aero Club. The trainer was highly experienced and guided me through every step with professionalism and confidence. The entire flying process felt smooth and safe, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Under the instructor’s guidance, I was able to take control of the aircraft myself and fly over Fremantle’s busy port and the beautiful bays of Rockingham. Seeing these views from the cockpit was breathtaking and completely different from being a passenger on a plane. This trial flight truly sparked a deep interest in aviation for me.
