Intro Flight Lesson

$49.00

A one hour introductory experience that allows the student to become acquainted with flying.

Upon arrival, the student is assigned their own personal FAA Certified Flight Instructor, who will walk them through all the things a real pilot does before, during, and after a typical flight. This first lesson includes 20 minutes in the air and is not to be confused with an "airplane ride", where one is passive and watches someone else do the work.

The whole idea of this introductory flight lesson is to get the student to do as much as possible - to push the student right up to their potential. The student will do all the pre-flight procedures, will taxi the aircraft,  can talk to the control tower themselves to get take off clearance, assist with take off, and once airborne, do many in-flight maneuvers. Of course, the instructor will be sitting next to the student telling him to "push this" and "pull that", but the student will do most of the flying.

The flying time will be about 20 minutes as the student joins the "elite few in history" who have actually piloted an aircraft themselves.

A certificate of completion (suitable for framing) with the logged hours, signed by their Certified Flight Instructor, as well as a photograph of the student standing beside the airplane, will be awarded to the student after the flight.

Obviously, the student will not learn how to fly in one lesson, but no matter which intro flight they fly, they will experience all the different aspects of flight, have a lot of fun, and acquire enough information and experience to make a decision as to whether they would be interested in continuing the challenge of learning how to fly.
