Airplane piloting

What is an Introductory Airplane Flight Lesson?

The introductory flight lesson is actually the first in-flight lesson of the private pilot training (PPL), and this flight is accessible without prior knowledge. Upon your arrival, you will be welcomed by a certified flight instructor with whom you will do a briefing on the basics of piloting and on the lesson of the day. He will also show you the airplane used for this flight and the safety instructions. Most of the time, this flight is limited to controlling the airplane on its three axes (yaw, pitch, and roll). You will then take your seat on board the aircraft and will be able to take the controls on the ground and once the airplane is in flight. Your instructor will handle all delicate phases and will supervise you for the basic tasks you saw during the ground briefing.

Why Choose an Introductory Flight Lesson?

Unlike a sightseeing flight where you are only a spectator, the introductory flight lesson allows you to become an active part of the flight. You will take the controls and learn the basics of piloting. This flight can be a simple experience, but it can also be the starting point of a complete training program to become a real airplane pilot. These flights are open to everyone, whether you have knowledge in aeronautics or none at all. It is a very rewarding experience and perhaps the discovery of a true vocation.
