An intro flight is a perfect way to learn about flying! See some beautiful views and experience a fun first lesson in one of our
training aircraft.

• You’ll spend about 30 minutes in the classroom with one of our Certified Flight Instructors as part of a pre-flight
briefing to discuss the plan for the flight. They will explain the process of getting your Pilot’s license, cover the
basics of flight training and what you can expect, and answer any questions that you might have.

• You’ll then head out to the airplane, conduct the preflight inspection with your instructor, and embark on a short
flight around the area, learning the basics. The flight will last approximately 40 minutes. YOU will sit in the
pilot’s seat and will actually fly the plane yourself, with the help of your instructor!

• After the flight, the instructor will go over any questions you might have about the flight or other topics that you
might be interested in – career options in aviation, flying as a hobby for recreation, and more.

The flight is a great first step – the knowledge you get and the flight time counts towards meeting FAA requirements for
your pilot certificate!
