Zero-G Flight

Additional flight training includes “Zero-G” flights. This is done to simulate the exact sensations of flying in space. Traditionally, these were done in the “Vomit Comet” passenger jet flown by NASA, but we are able to perform these same maneuvers in our twin engine aircraft. The student will float in the cabin during the zero g maneuver and will be weightless. The duration of these maneuvers are apx. 10 seconds each compared to apx. 20 seconds with the airliner type jets.

We can offer medication to prevent any motion sickness so you can enjoy the experience without having to worry about getting airsick. Typically, we do 10-12 of these maneuvers so you will have up to a couple of minutes of total weightless time during the flight. We start the maneuvers with a 1/3 gravity “Mars” gravity maneuver and a 1/6 “Moon” gravity maneuver before the zero gravity ones. We will film and photograph you during the flight. Per FAA regulations, all passengers will be seated and safely belted in for takeoff and landing.
