How it works
- 1. Pre-Flight Briefing (45 min)
Your instructor walks you through the flight plan, explains how the aircraft works, and guides you through the same pre-flight inspection pilots perform before every flight. This is real training, you'll see exactly what a day of flight school looks like. - 2. You Fly (1 hour)
From the left seat of a Cessna 172, you'll take the controls while your instructor handles takeoff and landing. How much you fly is up to you. Some like hands-on immediately, others ease in. It's your call. - 3. Post-Flight Debrief (15 min)
After landing, you'll debrief with your instructor: what you did well, what you felt, and what comes next if this is something you're interested in.

The moment that changes everything
Most career pilots trace their passion back to a single experience: the first time they took the controls of a light aircraft. This intro flight is designed to give you that same moment.
The whole experience takes about two hours, and what it might spark could last a lifetime.
