Yarrawonga Flight Training

Trial Introductory Flights

FLIGHT 101

Being airborne in a two-seater microlight is probably the nearest thing to what the essence of flying might be. Typically a microlight cruises at about 120 kph at relatively low altitudes, and the view from the open cockpit is unbelievable.

In contrast, conventional light aircraft or helicopters are fast and exciting, but you’re enclosed in a capsule.  Balloon flights are fantastic and tranquil, but more often than not you’re jammed in a basket full of other people.

It’s not about white-knuckle rides or adrenaline rushes or things like that.  It’s about a profound sense of being in another world. The sense of freedom, of being afloat in three dimensions, is, quite simply, life-changing.

Duration: 10 minutes. Price:  $45

Sunset Flights

This flight will take you all the way to 5000 feet above the Town and Lake Mulwala for an elevated view of the Great Dividing Range and the Hay Plains. The farm land beneath you becomes like a patchwork quilt. From that altitude, views are spectacular as the sun goes down, and lights in the surrounding towns come on. You may even see the sun set twice!

This is a stunning flight over the Yarrawonga area and we recommend this trip for anyone wanting to experience microlight flying at its best.

If you want to experience flying over mountains, the trip into the Great Dividing Range to Mt Beauty could be organized. Or you may want to go inland, experiencing  big sky country, and stop at Jerilderie or Urana.

For a real adventure and great flying experience we could fly to Shepparton and then across to Great Dividing Range and back along the Hume Hwy to Benalla and Wangaratta, before heading back to Yarrawonga via the Warby Ranges State Park.
