This approximately 1-hour lesson will start with a pre-flight inspection of the airplane. Your FAA Certified Instructor will familiarize you with the aircraft and show you how it works. Next, you'll climb on board either a Cessna 172 or a Piper Warrior and taxi down the runway. Your instructor will handle take off and landing, but once in the air... it's all you! During the approximately 30-minute flight, you will learn the basic controls of the aircraft and how to properly maneuver and fly the plane.
Your first flight is truly an exhilarating and unforgettable experience. As an added bonus, you may bring 1 friend along for the ride! You'll both be talking about this flight for years to come.
