Information about Learning to Fly!

50 Years and Counting.....

Mid Canterbury Aero Club came into existence in 1974 after breaking away from the larger Canterbury Aero Club based in Christchurch. Since then we have helped countless people from the local area, New Zealand, and around the world achieve their aviation dreams.

Trial Flights

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to take to the skies, feeling the thrill of flight, and seeing the Canterbury plains from above?

Book yourself in for a unforgettable experience that may just leave you hooked on the exhilaration of aviation, and start you on your aviation journey.

What’s Involved?

  • Meet with our instructor and have a chat while he walks you around the aircraft and explains the preflight checks.
  • Take the Pilot's Seat: Buckle up and take control of the aircraft under the watchful eye of your instructor.
  • Hands-On Experience: This is not just a joyride – it's an opportunity to actually manipulate the controls and get a feel for what it's like to fly a plane.
  • Tailored to You: Our trial flights are personalized to suit your comfort level. Whether you're a first-timer or have some aviation experience

Our Fleet

In the past year we have changed our training fleet to two Piper Tomahawks. This comes after many decades of running a Piper Cherokee as our main trainer.


The main benefits of changing to the Tomahawks were the reduced fuel burn and the fact the Tomahawk was built to be a true training aircraft. Our instructors and students love the Tomahawks!


While both our Cherokees are being retired, we are retaining our Piper Archer for members who want something a little bigger to take their friends and family flying!
