If You Want More Than One Day
Enroll in a course within twenty-four hours of your lesson and the full lesson price comes off the package. All of it, whether that is the $249 you paid for the simulator or the $749 you paid for the Cirrus. It is not a voucher and not a code; the amount is taken off what you owe.
Where it goes next depends on the certificate you want. Sport Pilot is $8,400 and flown in the Cessna 162. Private Pilot Standard is $10,400. Books and materials are inside both numbers, and both can be paid monthly.
Let the twenty-four hours pass and the only thing lost is the credit. The flight time still counts toward the forty hours, and we have had people come back nine months later and start from that logbook entry. What ongoing flight training costs sets out the rest.
Buying Somebody Else A Day In The Air
A gift card is the sane way to give a flying lesson, because the person receiving it picks the date and the weather. We sell the beginner flying lesson gift card at each of the five lesson prices, so you choose a lesson rather than guess at a dollar amount. It arrives by email as a code and has no expiry date. They book their own slot between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, on whatever day works.
Our advice: do not buy the Cirrus for somebody who is uneasy about small airplanes. Buy the $249 simulator lesson, which never leaves the ground, or the $449 lesson in the Piper Warrior so that you can sit in the back and go with them. The $749 lesson is for the person who already reads about airplanes on purpose.
If the sky is wrong on the day they pick, nothing is charged and they rebook. A reschedule they ask for themselves is free up to twenty-four hours before.
Questions About One Day Lessons
Can A Teenager Take A One Day Lesson?
Yes. There is no minimum age to fly with an instructor, though you have to be sixteen to fly solo, and anyone under eighteen needs a parent or guardian. For ten to fifteen year olds who want more than one day, our Teens Pilot Course is $4,200 and covers ten hours of flight, three in the simulator and seven in a classroom.
Do I Need A Medical Certificate For One Day?
No. The medical rules are in 14 CFR 61.23 and they apply before you fly solo, not before you fly with an instructor beside you. You do not need a license or any experience either.
What Should I Bring?
A photo ID, sunglasses and closed-toe shoes. Headsets are lent, so there is nothing to buy, and if you already own a logbook, bring it.
Can Two Of Us Fly On The Same Day?
On the $449 lesson one of you flies the Piper Warrior and the other rides in the back on the intercom. The Warrior has four seats and the combined weight limit for the two of you is 360 lb. The guest is not charged separately.
Which Airplane Do I Get On The $349 Lesson?
A Cessna 162 Skycatcher or a Piper Warrior, depending on what the schedule looks like that day. We have six Skycatchers, N60225, N7030B, N6039M, N179LC, N5208V and N52049, and two Warriors, N3034Q and N6312C. Ask when you book and we will tell you what is likely.
Is There A Weight Limit?
Yes, and it belongs to the airplane. The Cessna 162 and the Piper Warrior take up to 180 lb per person. The Diamond DA20 and the Cirrus SR22 Turbo take up to 200 lb for the person flying. The simulator has no limit.
