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 should meticulously prepare for intro flights by gathering customer weight and contact information, conducting pre-inspections, and thoroughly briefing customers on safety, controls, and expectations.
- During the flight, CFIs should offer a hands-on experience, allowing customers to fly under supervision while managing critical aspects like takeoff, landing, brakes, and radio communications.
- Prioritize customer comfort by monitoring weather, explaining instruments, and providing airsickness precautions, aiming to make the experience engaging and positive.
- Post-flight, encourage continued aviation interest by informing customers about pilot training, crediting the intro flight hours, and recommending the purchase of a pilot logbook.
