Introduction to YAK-52 Aerobatics

Take to the skies for an adrenaline-charged aerobatic flight in a Russian YAK-52 trainer aircraft.

The YAK warbird is powered by a 9 cylinder, 360 hp, supercharged radial engine and originally helped pilots train for combat manoeuvres.

At the Archerfield base, you'll learn all aspects of the aircraft, the flight and safety procedures. Soon you'll be seated in the aircraft safely strapped in.  The roar of the radial engine kicks in. 

You're just minutes away from experiencing some amazing aerobatics. Loops, barrel roll, half Cuban, wing-overs, stall turn and flying inverted. These are mind-blowing manoeuvres that create G-forces ranging from 4 to minus 1.  And at speeds in excess of 400km/h.

Not sure if you are up for aerobatics, don’t worry, you will be in constant communication with your pilot via headsets and you can push the thrill with torque rolls, lomcovak, and a hesitation roll, or take alternatively, you can take it down a notch at any point. You control the intensity. Happy flying.
