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 meticulously prepare for intro flights by gathering customer details (like weight and contact), conducting pre-flight inspections, and briefing customers on safety and procedures.
- During the flight, CFIs must prioritize customer safety and comfort, clearly explaining control exchanges, managing potential issues like turbulence or airsickness, and engaging the customer with instrument explanations and supervised flying over landmarks.
- After the flight, it's vital to encourage continued interest by providing information on pilot training pathways, confirming the intro flight counts towards certification, and promoting the acquisition of a pilot logbook.
