I am a flight instructor just, sit back enjoy your first couple of flights the instructor is going to do some introductory and basic things with you
he/she will let you take the controls, and talk you through maneuvers.
I have always wanted to learn how to fly and my wife just got me a 5 hour flying lesson package with a flight school.
Has anyone ever taken flight lessons and what should I expect?
When you see a "Stall Warning", don't panic, it's just the plane about to take over and help you quickly to the ground. Sit back and enjoy the ride down.


If you crash and die, if you have life insurance it will not pay... FYI

That's not entirely correct.
The standard policy asks if you engage in things like GA piloting, motorcycle riding, skydiving, scuba diving, etc. If you answer no, and go out and strap on a plane, scuba tank, parachute, or bike, this type of policy won't pay if you die while engaged in those activities.
However, you can get a rider attached (higher premiums), or you can purchase an additional policy from aviation specific insurance companies.
Look closely at your standard policy and you will see that it has that listed as an exclusion. And this additional policy will be an expensive term policy and will still not pay if he dies while flying a PRIVATE plane. They will only return the premiums paid into the policy.i just got a scholarship to the JFK Jr. Flight Academy,,, i'm sure the instructor won't mind if you go on my first test flight with me,,, get at me bra
Thanks for the offer, but I am in Atlanta.
I'm in the "A" as well, what school you going to?
