Introductory Flight Lesson

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 about 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 building up to full control of the aircraft. After the flight portion, the student is invited to ask questions and sign up for further instruction. A prospective student can expect to spend 1 hour on preflight ground instruction and as much as 30 minutes on post flight discussion.
