Take the flight controls and fly over Parramatta north to the Bahai Temple and towards the magnificent northern beaches. Circle Sydney Harbour with stunning views of the Bridge, Opera House, North and South Head and of course the harbour and its foreshores!

You will depart Bankstown Airport after your instructor has given you a thorough ground briefing and lodged a flight plan. With you at the controls, your instructor will guide you over Parramatta and north to Hornsby where you will turn right and fly past the Bahai Temple towards the magnificent northern beaches. Your instructor will handle all radio calls and by this time request clearance to enter Sydney Controlled Airspace for your flight to Sydney Harbour. Turning right again, you will fly directly to the harbour where you will be given clearance to orbit over the harbour between the Harbour Bridge and Opera House. From your aircraft you will have the Sydney CBD laid out below you with spectacular views.

Your return flight to Bankstown will take you back the way you came for a safe landing at Bankstown Airport.

    This was a great experience, particularly if you have a general interest in aviation or simply want to see the city from the skies. The friendly instructor took time to provide general information as to the the flight and what to expect. He allowed me to safely take the controls of the aircraft and gave feedback as to how I was doing and what to look out for. I thought I'd seen Sydney but there' no better way than flying just 1500 ft at 200km p/h while you take it all in. Thank you.

    Had an awsome experience. The facilitators were easy going, flexable, and very easy to get along with. The experience was alot more hands on than I expected with The pilot taking off and landing and allowing me to take control and participate in everything else. Hopefully this wont be my last

    I really enjoyed it. It was such an experience that i've never had before and would recommend anyone to try it. Sydney is such a beautiful city from above. This was a prize that my husband won and gave to me as a gift. I loved every moment of it. The pilot was very polite and kind. Would love to do it again. Thank You

    I didn't get to fly over the harbor due to restrictions but I got to fly over the north beaches which i think was better, the instructor was very helpful and explained a lot to me. I really enjoyed the flight and learnt a lot from it and would definitely recommend it to friends.

    Fantastic! I had a wonderful time and would highly recommend the experience. The instructing and support was excellent. The level of participation was totally at my discretion. It was a wonderful day with a great view as we flew over Sydney harbour, the harbour bridge and then up low over the northern beaches with the sun setting in the west.

    This was awesome, despite the fact that the wind direction wasn't organised properly so I couldn't fly directly over the harbour?? :-)
