Twin engines. Glass canopy. Panoramic views from every angle. The AirCam is one of the most unique flying experiences available anywhere.
The AirCam was originally designed for National Geographic wildlife photography missions over Africa — and its design shows it. With tandem seating beneath a glass canopy, twin Rotax 912 engines, and high-lift wings optimized for low-speed performance, the AirCam offers an aerial experience that simply cannot be replicated in any other aircraft.
Flying the AirCam over the Phoenix Valley is a visceral, unforgettable experience. The large glass canopy gives you panoramic, unobstructed views in nearly every direction — the terrain below, the sky above, and the horizon in every direction. The low-and-slow flight profile amplifies every sensation of flight in a way most aircraft simply can't match.
The twin-engine configuration also provides a meaningful safety margin and introduces pilots to the basic concepts of asymmetric thrust and multi-engine operations — valuable experience for anyone on a career track. The AirCam's generous climb rate of 1,500 ft/min (twin-engine) means it performs well in the desert heat that can challenge single-engine light aircraft.
Access to the AirCam requires completion of the FES AirCam Safety Course, which covers aircraft systems, emergency procedures, and type-specific handling characteristics. Whether you're an owner seeking a checkout, a pilot pursuing aerial photography, or simply someone who wants an extraordinary flying experience, contact us to get started.
The AirCam was purpose-built for aerial imaging. Low speed, a panoramic glass canopy, and unobstructed views make it exceptional for photographers and videographers.
Twin Rotax engines give pilots real experience with multi-engine concepts — asymmetric thrust, engine-out procedures, and differential power management.
For existing AirCam owners, prospective buyers, or pilots seeking insurance requirements — FES offers a structured 10-hour dual AirCam course.
For pilots who've done it all — or curious aviators who want something truly different — the AirCam offers a flying experience unlike anything else in general aviation.
