The Bachelor producers seek to impress viewers by sending contestants on ever ore elaborate dates.

But they had it easy with their latest recruit, with newly cast Bachelor Peter Weber taking matters in his own hands.

The commercial pilot hopped behind the controls of a plane as he took a pretty brunette for a spin in the skies.

The high-flier was in his element as he flew the Piper PA-23 Apache plane over the skies of coastal California, for a sunset view with a difference on Saturday.

And Peter clearly impressed, with his date congratulating him with a hug as they touched down.

The beauty had won her one-on-one after navigating an obstacle course with the other contestants, who have just set about their journey to win Peter's heart.

Peter, dressed in jeans and a white T-shirt, had watched as they threw themselves through gunge as they fought for a chance to spend a few hours in his company.

While his high-flying date went off without a hitch, Peter wasn't so lucky on Wednesday, when he was forced to abandon a date due to illness.

After being announced as the leading man for Season 24 of the show, Pete admitted to host Chris Harrison 'This is crazy. This is life-changing. I have truly, my entire life, looked forward to finding my girl, and that first person that I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with.'

A fan favourite from Season 15 of The Bachelorette, Peter is a 27-year-old commercial pilot from Westlake Village, an upscale suburb that's not far from The Bachelor mansion in Southern California.

His social media presence - under the account name Pilot Peter - skyrocketed through his time starring on The Bachelorette with more than 1.1million followers just on Instagram.

On Hannah's season, Peter was the runner-up to contestant Tyler Cameron. Hannah ultimately chose contestant Jed Wyatt, though after a dramatic reveal in which he was found to have had a girlfriend at home, she broke off the engagement.

The new season of The Bachelor with Peter will premiere on ABC in January 2020.
