You will be with us for about an hour, and will have flown about ½ hour. If you should decide to continue on in your training toward a Pilot Licence, this ½ hour will be recorded in your PTR (pilot training record) and will count as part of your training

Here's what to expect from a typical Introductory Flight:

A quick ‘pre-flight’ briefing with your Instructor.

 If time allows, a demonstration of the pre-flight ‘walk-around’ inspection of the aircraft.

Once on board in the Pilot’s seat, you will be shown how to taxi an aircraft and then you get to ‘drive’ it around on the way to the take-off runway (hint: you steer it primarily with your feet when taxiing).

The Instructor might perform the take-off but, once you are off the ground and away from the airport, we turn the controls over to you and ‘talk you through’ some simple rudimentary exercises.

You will fly the airplane around for about ½ hour and all the way back to ‘short final’, just before landing. The Instructor will probably want to land the airplane.

Come in for a de-briefing.
