Aerochute Trial Introductory Flight
Aerochute Industries, Werribee & Pakenham, VIC

Picture this: it's the early hours of a crisp, still morning. You're sitting with your pilot in an Aerochute - a powered parachute with a two-seater trike frame. The engine behind has whirred into life, filling a large nylon 'chute and lifting it above you. Within seconds you leave the ground, which becomes ever more distant as you climb higher and higher into the air.

This is such a pure form of flying. There's no cockpit to isolate you from the experience of being airborne, allowing you to survey the countryside below in exquisite detail.

The Aerochute's wonderfully simple design makes it incredibly safe, responsive and easy to operate. Before long you'll see just how easy, as you take the controls and put the information from your detailed pre-flight briefing into practice!

About the Aerochute
The Aerochute Dual is a two seater powered parachute that has had Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) approval for 15 years.

Designed specifically with safety and ease of operation in mind, it is virtually stall and spin resistant, and in the case of an engine failure it simply lands safely as a parachute would.

The machine has been tested and proven across the Australian outback for high altitude, high temperature performance. It has been flown in numerous countries around the world and in more than 10,000 hours of operations world-wide there has yet to be a serious Aerochute incident.
Other information
You will be required to sign an indemnity form on the day and you'll be given a temporary Australian Ultralight Membership. Your name and address is required for Flight Docket records. This flight record will be the first entry to go towards a full pilot's licence if you wish to pursue a pilot training program.
