Trial Instructional Flights

A Trial Introductory Flight, offered called a TIF, gives prospective students a taste of what it's like to fly an aircraft. This is a great opportunity to discuss what’s involved in flight training and ask about the process of obtaining a Recreational Pilot Certificate. It is a chance for you to determine if flying is something you want to pursue more seriously and if you feel comfortable with the instructor and the aircraft.

During a TIF you will:

Experience Flight: You’ll take to the skies with a certified flight instructor who will handle most of the flying while allowing you to take the controls and experience the sensation of flying.

Learn the Basics: The instructor will give you a brief overview of the aircraft's controls and functions. You'll get a chance to see how these instruments work in practice.

Pre-flight Brief: This includes pre-flighting the aircraft and discussing the flight, what you are looking for out of the flight and a time to have your questions answered.

Overall a TIF is designed to be a fun and informative experience, giving you a firsthand feel for flying while also providing insights into what flight training entails.
