Intro Flight Season approaches. From May to the end of June you can expect to see an increase in the number of moms, dads, and grads coming to flight schools for their first taste of aviation.
Here’s what to expect.
There Is Definitely an Art to the Intro Flight
Moms, dads, and grads often enter the world of aviation this time of year as the weather gets nicer.
Key Takeaways:
- Flight schools and CFIs should thoroughly prepare for intro flights by gathering customer weight/contact info, performing pre-flight checks (partially before customer arrival), and setting expectations for safety and comfort, including weather considerations.
- During the flight, CFIs should gradually introduce customers to controls while managing critical phases (takeoff, landing, radio), explain instruments, personalize the route, and be prepared for potential motion sickness.
- After the flight, CFIs should encourage aspiring pilots by providing information on the training process, confirming that intro flight hours count towards certification, and suggesting the acquisition of a pilot logbook.
