Who can fly a sightseeing flight? Children, weight, height, fear of heights
In short: practically anyone can fly a sightseeing flight over Warsaw—including children (under adult supervision), those with a fear of heights, and those prone to motion sickness. We fly in a stable Cessna 172, calmly and smoothly—it's not a rollercoaster, but a gentle cruise at a comfortable altitude.

What kind of aircraft are used for sightseeing flights?
Introduction: Sightseeing flights over Warsaw are a unique experience that allows you to see the Polish capital from a completely new perspective. But what kind of aircraft is used for these incredible flights? Let's take a closer look... Aircraft Used for Sightseeing Flights: There are several different aircraft used for sightseeing flights over Warsaw, but one of the most common is the Cessna 172. This lightweight, single-engine aircraft provides stable and safe flights and excellent views from the cockpit thanks to its high-wing design. This means the wings are overhead and don't obstruct the view out the window during flight. Our company has just such an aircraft in its most powerful version, with an engine of over 200 hp. You can find more information here. Advantages and Features of the Cessna 172: The Cessna 172 is an excellent choice for sightseeing flights due to its durability, maneuverability, spacious interior, and large windows allowing passengers to enjoy the views in all their glory. The wings mounted above the passengers' heads do not obstruct their view. Our Cessna 172 – SP-OKS Our particular Cessna 172, registered SP-OKS, is the Reims Rocket version. It was produced in the largest number of units in the world. It has remained in production since 1955. You can probably guess how refined this design is. It is a four-seat, single-engine high-wing monoplane. In 2019, the aircraft underwent a complete overhaul, including repainting, replacing the interior and avionics with the latest Garmin® solutions, and a general engine overhaul. It is maintained by a Polish CAMO PART-145 certified organization, which manages its continued airworthiness. We meet the highest quality standards dictated by the regulations of the Polish Aviation Authority.
