A Flying Pirate is a Space Pirate with a jet pack found in Metroid Prime. They shoot many swirling homing missiles and modified green Galvanic Accelerator Cannons. Once low on health, some Flying Pirates will perform a last ditch suicide strike, spiraling to the ground and exploding on contact. A charged Plasma Beam shot will incinerate Flying Pirates before they can commence this strike. In the other Prime games a similar unit is called the Pirate Aerotrooper, which is presumably a more advanced version of the Flying Pirate.

| - Flying Pirates are extremely agile in the air, but the heat signatures of their jet packs can be tracked with Thermal Imaging. While their Missiles are extremely potent, their jet packs can be even more so. If the pack fails, they will make a suicide strike.

| - A Flying Pirate is a Space Pirate with a jet pack found in Metroid Prime. They shoot many swirling homing missiles and modified green Galvanic Accelerator Cannons. Once low on health, some Flying Pirates will perform a last ditch suicide strike, spiraling to the ground and exploding on contact. A charged Plasma Beam shot will incinerate Flying Pirates before they can commence this strike. In the other Prime games a similar unit is called the Pirate Aerotrooper, which is presumably a more advanced version of the Flying Pirate. Samus can easily target the jetpack with the Thermal Visor, once acquired. Due to the high combustibility of the fuel used for the jetpack, they are highly vulnerable to the Plasma Beam. Despite this, it is often easier to use the Ice Spreader to freeze large groups of them and then pick them off with missiles--the Ice Beam works too, but they are often nimble enough to avoid its slow, non-homing shots. Flying Pirates also appear in Metroid Prime: Federation Force. They attack the Federation Force during the Pirate Warship battle and drop their own cannon balls which are dangerous to the soldiers and cannot be placed into catapults to attack the Warship. Their jetpacks can be attacked separately this time. They also attack the Force when they are attempting to Drill into their base on Talvania.
