What happens on the day
Forget being a passenger. It's your turn to take the controls!
Your lesson begins at West Georgia Regional Airport, where you'll meet your FAA-certified instructor for an introductory ground lesson. Then, it's time to climb aboard and take to the skies! While your instructor handles takeoff and landing, you'll get hands-on experience at the controls, practicing basic maneuvers like turning, climbing, and maintaining level flight.
Plus, there’s three flying experiences available:
Learn to Fly for One Student : Enjoy a 60-minute experience in a Cessna 150, including 15 minutes of ground instruction and a 45-minute flight.
Learn to Fly for One Student and a Passenger : Bring a friend along to watch you fly! This option includes the same 60-minute experience, using a Cessna 172 or Piper 28 airplane.
Learn to Fly for Two Students : Share the adventure during a 2-hour experience in a Cessna 172. You'll receive 30 minutes of ground instruction, followed by shared flight time, with each student spending 45 minutes at the controls and 45 minutes as a passenger.
