Discover new heights as you start your journey toward earning your wings with this professional flight training course!
Once you’ve taken the controls of an airplane, you’ll never look at the world in quite the same way. Imagine soaring into the clouds and seeing the streets and landmarks below from an entirely different perspective. You can speed over traffic-jammed highways to a destination of your own choosing. Once you earn your private pilot’s license, you can pretty much fly anywhere in the world that you want. Set your own schedule, enjoy the freedom of the skies, and witness gorgeous views that are far better than those you’ll get on an airliner.
Your first lesson in New Jersey will be an experience you’ll never forget. After an introduction and safety debriefing with your FAA certified flight instructor, you’ll hop into the cockpit of a Piper Warrior and prepare for takeoff. Your instructor will teach you how to do a pre-flight inspection and guide you through the basics before taxiing down the runway and taking to the skies.
As soon as you reach cruising altitude, you’ll take over the controls and experience the thrill of flying an airplane and the peace that comes with soaring through the skies. For anyone with hopes of one day earning their private pilot's license, this is the perfect opportunity to see if you have what it takes. You'll be one step closer to earning your wings!
Maximum weight is 240 lbs per person.
There are no age restrictions for the training, however in order to earn your private pilot’s license you must be at least 17.
Students are not allowed to bring a passenger along for this lesson. This is a real flight lesson, and you can log your time towards your pilot's license.
Unfortunately, this experience is not handicap accessible.
Each flight is approximately 30 minutes from engine start to engine stop. This does not include ground school, which is about 1 hour long.
