The journey typically begins with a comprehensive ground school session, where aspiring pilots are introduced to the basics of aircraft controls, aerodynamics, and essential safety procedures.
Then it’s off to the cockpit for dual instruction alongside a qualified flight instructor. The lesson covers everything from pre-flight checklists and taxiing to basic navigation techniques and in-flight maneuvers. Curious minds will also get a behind-the-scenes look at aircraft maintenance and how flight instructors ensure every flight is safe and smooth. It's an eye-opening, inspiring introduction to the world of aviation.
