This introductory flight is for those who are thinking about taking flying lessons and obtaining a pilot’s license. Experience the flight first-hand and you may even get to fly the airplane yourself! A Transport Canada approved Flight Instructor will guide you through what is involved in learning to fly, and share a 60 minute flight in a four seat Cessna 172 with you at the controls. Feel free to ask questions. You can log this flight as your first lesson and the cost for 1 hour is CAD $350 plus taxes.
When you arrive at the airport, you will be greeted by one of our friendly staff members and introduced to your flight instructor. Your flight instructor will ask you some basic questions such as what are your goals in aviation? Have you ever been in an aircraft before? etc. Next, you will sit in one of our briefing areas with your instructor and talk about what to expect during the flight. You will also discuss the basics of handling the aircraft in the air as well as any other information you need to know for the flight. This ground briefing will last approximately 15 minutes.
After the ground briefing, you will get ‘signed out’ and proceed to the aircraft with your instructor. Every flight must start with a pre-flight inspection, also known as a walkaround, of the aircraft. This ensures that the aircraft is safe for flight. During the walkaround, your instructor will explain various parts of the airplane, feel free to ask as many questions as you want.
After the walkaround, you and your instructor will get in the aircraft for the flight portion. Sit back, relax and enjoy!
After you return to the airport, if you decide to pursue your pilot license, that’s great! It’s as simple as booking your next flight. We will get you some study material and your very own Pilot Logbook to keep track of; all of your flights. Your instructor will show you what will be covered during your next lesson. If you need to take some time to think about it, that’s fine too. Our staff will always be available to help answer your questions.
There is no homework or preparations you need to make prior to this flight.
This flight will count towards your pilot license if there are no other passengers present.
