Ras Al Khaimah launches UAEs first commercial aerobatic flight experience with all the loops, rolls, inverted flights, vertical climbs

Experience the first commercial aerobatic flight in the UAE with Ras Al Khaimah. Depending on Air Traffic Control directions, aircraft taking off from the RAK International Airport speed over the shoreline between Marjan Island, Cove Rotana, and Al Rams at a height of 2,000–6,000 feet. Loops and rolls, hammerheads, avalanches, inverted flights, and vertical ascents of up to 3,000 feet are among the manoeuvres available. With G-forces ranging from +4 (four times the force of gravity) to -2 (feeling of weightlessness), climb rates can exceed 400 kmph.

Two EXTRA 330s, the same model that launched the Red Bull Air racing championship, are flown by the firm. The adventure starts with a full briefing by the pilot before the flight. Passengers are then fitted with a flight suit and headset/helmet before they are boarded. Operated during daylight hours, the first flights take off at 7am, with the last departure at 5pm.

The aircraft, which are sometimes referred to as "the Ferrari of the skies," are made especially for highly skilled competitive aerobatics. They have verified constraints of plus or minus 10G for load factor. Giving people a taste of what this aircraft, G-force, and the aerobatic world can do is the goal, Jack explained. Throughout the journey, the pilot will converse with the passengers to adjust the experience to their comfort levels.

Aerobatic flights run around 20 minutes and cost Dh2,399 each. It takes around three hours to complete the process, including the travel to the airport, the flight briefing, and the fitting of the flight suit.
