INTRODUCTORY FLIGHT LESSON

$269

The Introductory flight is a comprehensive flight lesson aligned with our Private Pilot Syllabus. The objective of the lesson is to familiarize the student with the training airplane, covering its operating characteristics, flight deck controls, instruments, and systems.

This introductory lesson introduces pre-flight and post-flight procedures, emphasizes the use of checklists, and highlights safety precautions. Students will gain an understanding of the effect and use of flight controls, along with familiarization with the local practice area and airport. 

The Flight concludes with a post-flight briefing and a preview of the programs offered by Lunken Flight Training Center.

Please allow approximately 2 hours total time for the Introductory Flight Lesson which includes a course presentation. Total time in aircraft is about 1 hour and 6 minutes, 50 to 55 minutes of which is in the air.
