Choose Between Two Options

• $149 for a two-hour introductory flight lesson (a $298 value)

During this lesson, instructors provide a roughly one-hour preflight briefing before sending students skyward for 50–60 minutes of hands-on flight time. The quick jaunt through the clouds puts beginners at the controls for take-off, in-flight aerobatics, and landing while the instructor watches on, offering guidance and preventing the uninitiated from steering with their teeth. Students may bring two additional passengers along on the flight.

• $1,195 for an introduction-to-flying package (a $2,395 value)

This package provides students with 50 hours of dedicated ground-school instruction, combining lectures, group discussions, and practical exercises with four hours of in-flight training to impart the knowledge required to obtain either a private or instrument pilot license. The package also includes a Wings Aloft BFI membership, which grants access to Wings' stable of well-maintained planes and a loaner private pilot kit, which is required for the ground-school course. The loaner kit is included with this deal.
