Discover new heights and gain a new skill when you climb into the captain’s seat. You’re one step closer to achieving your dream of becoming a pilot with this exciting Learn to Fly experience.

You’ll start off by meeting up with your FAA Certified Flight Instructor. Listen closely as you walk through a step-by-step preflight inspection of your Cessna 182, where an informative ground training lesson will give you a better understanding of both the airplane and flying in general.

Feel free to ask questions about the plane or about obtaining your private pilot’s license. Then, after preflight is complete, it’s time to buckle up and experience what it’s really like to fly an airplane.

You’ll learn all of the different phases of flight and feel the unparalleled exhilaration and freedom of flying an airplane. This is no passive experience. You’ll be at the controls most of the time, where you’ll practice turning, try your hand at climbs and descents, and even experience a landing or two.

Choose from either a 30-minute or 60-minute lesson for a great introduction to flight training. From ground school to engine start up to soaring over the Dallas skyline, this is one experience you’ll never forget!
