Introductory Flights

A typical introductory flight lesson will consist of an outline of the course of instruction, followed by an explanation of aircraft controls and their functions. The flight portion will normally last from 45 minutes to 1 hour. During the flight portion the instructor will explain and demonstrate the use of the controls and allow the prospective student to operate them one at a time. After the flight portion, the student is invited to ask questions and sign up for further instruction. A perspective student can expect to spend 1 to 1 1/2 hours for ground discussion.

I have created this website to tell viewers all about pilot training, flight instruction, and opportunities to learn to fly, either through a pilot school or independent instruction in the San Diego, California area. It is for viewers seeking flying lessons and flying schools, those who want to find flight training information for obtaining a pilot license, and for those who are already pilots.

These pages will also  provide pilots with information about various flying clubs and San Diego flight training sources, as well as providing information about the steps and requirements associated with becoming a pilot.
