Here are some of the maneuvers you can experience:
1. Take Off: you can rest your hand gently on the stick and throttle to see how effortless it is.
2. Climb: going up as fast as possible by safely maxing out the throttle and staying at a speed of VY .
3. Straight & Level flying: harder than it may look to account for all 4 dimensions.
4. Shallow Turns: smooth turning can be done in a way that if you closed your eyes, you wouldn't feel it.
5. Circuit: the rectangular training pattern to safely perform as many landings as possible in a short time.
6. Touch and Go: land on a grass airfield and take off again before stopping.
7. Side Slip Landing: skillful coordination of rudder and ailerons to align with a runway, even with high winds.
8. Forward Slip Landing: turn the plane 45deg sideways to lose altitude fast without gaining any speed.
9. Steep Turns: up to 60deg of bank, experiencing 2Gs of force to maintain altitude.
10. Parabolic flight: reduce or increase G-forces (within safe limits) without turning the aircraft.
For some of the maneuvers, you can control the plane alongside the captain when deemed safe.
On top of the maneuvers, you can learn about navigation and communication, as well as talk to the captain about all aspects of piloting.
