Question 1

Does it hurt?

Accepted Answer

Only if you want it to. While the XA-42 is capable of +10 / -10 Gs, we design every flight to start with gentler maneuvers and gradually move toward more aggressive ones, depending on what you're comfortable with.

Question 2

Will I get sick?

Accepted Answer

Maybe. It doesn't seem to matter whether you're a qualified pilot or it's your first flight -- we can't predict who will get sick and who won't. If you start to feel sick, your instructor can have the aircraft on the ground in about a minute and a half. While this is not medical advice, our experience has shown best results with Meclizine.

Question 3

How long should I plan to be there?

Accepted Answer

Please plan on being with us for approximately 4 hours. There are factors outside of our control, such as weather and mechanical issues, that we cannot predict. If we foresee any delays with your flight, we will do our best to contact you. If you are unable to fly, you will not be charged.

Question 4

What's your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

We require a 48-hour cancellation notice. Cancellations made inside of 48 hours will incur a $200 cancellation fee. No-shows will also be charged $200.

Question 5

How do I check availability?

Accepted Answer

Simply click the 'Book Now' button on the Packages page. You'll be taken to our calendar where you can see all available dates. We periodically add dates, posted 1 to 6 weeks in advance.

Question 6

Do you sell gift certificates?

Accepted Answer

Yes -- please email us at info@xtreme-flight.com or call 601-XFLIGHT.

Question 7

When will I get my video?

No high heels. If you have long hair, please bring a tight hair tie. You will be asked to remove all jewelry, watches, and anything in your pockets, including cell phones, before the flight.

Question 9

Question 14

Can I bring my own camera or GoPro?
