Prepare for Your Flight Lesson

A foundation in aviation is essential to flight training from the beginning. The initial training will begin with an introduction to the world of aviation and the aircraft you’ll be flying. From the essentials of aerodynamics to flight procedures and aircraft systems, you can expect a wealth of information you’ll need to learn.

After the ground instruction, you’ll learn about all the pre-flight steps pilots need to take. From inspecting the aircraft to starting it, the moments before a flight begins can be integral to the flight’s success. During your first flight lesson, you can expect the instructor to take off and possibly let you handle the controls once you’re in a safe position. When the flight is done, you’ll review the tasks that must follow any flight and discuss the session with your instructor.
