The experience will be recorded by video camera, and you will be signed off as a Martin Jetpack test pilot, and registered in company records for historical recognition. You can share this experience with up to 3 others if you wish, or you can keep the flight time all to yourself. This is your chance to make aviation history – your own Wright brothers moment – as a Martin Jetpack test pilot. WHO CAN FLY? Anyone 18 years of age or over, who holds a current driver’s license, and who weighs less than 90kg. HOW EASY IS IT TO FLY? The team at Martin Aircraft Company is aiming to make the Martin Jetpack the world’s easiest to fly aircraft. You will be joining them as a Test Pilot to help fine turn the control systems, and maybe you can beat the current record of a complete novice pilot flying a safe solo flight in 12 minutes. IS IT SAFE? As a test pilot you will be flying in a controlled environment under the supervision of the Martin Aircraft flight team. This team of specialists has developed systems that have enabled them to complete around 5000 test flights in the last year without injury. As a new pilot you will not be expected to par- ticipate in any flights that put you or your aircraft at risk. WHERE WILL I FLY? Jetpack Test Pilot Training is held at the Martin Aircraft Company in Christchurch, New Zealand .
