The flagship aircraft is a Piper Chieftain shown on this page. It is probably the best presented Chieftain available. We also have another Navajo , Cessna 340 and Chieftain all of similar standard but with different carrying capacities and equipment. Experience air tours in a twin engine Piper Chieftain aircraft, where you travel through outback Australia as a small group, with both comfort and speed. The aircraft is rated for instrument flying which allows departures and arrivals in most weather and at night (assuming the airstrip is suitable) and is the type commonly used in aircraft charter.

Note: Sometimes the particular aircraft pictured here may not be available for a specific trip. In these situations, a similar twin engine aircraft to that described here will be used. Other aircraft can be seen on the Gallery page or the Business Air charter page

Aircraft cabin spacious and comfortable

 

Comfort

This aircraft has 10 seats, however it is best suited for 6 to 8 passengers for the most comfort and space. The interior is set out in a corporate style 'club configuration', which allows four people in the middle of the aircraft to face each other.

Entry is via a rear stair door, which allows for easy access for all ages. The aircraft also has air conditioning which is of great benefit at some of the warmer outback destinations, however it does not have an onboard toilet. This type of aircraft is commonly used in the outback and is very suitable and comfortable for these tours.

Fantastic Views

Being unpressurised it's maximum altitude is 10,000 feet, however travelling at these heights is just right for getting the best views of the Australian landscape. It has large windows and hence every passenger has a good view on the air tour, unlike most larger aircraft that generally have much smaller windows.

Luggage

Luggage can be loaded in the wing lockers and a forward nose locker. There is also some space for luggage at the rear of the cabin. As the lockers have a low height, bags need to be of the small soft overnight type. Hard suitcases are very difficult to stow. On outback tours we generally limit the luggage to 9kg per person.
