Learning to Fly: Inside Your Very First Flight Lesson

Ever wondered what it’s like to take your very first flight lesson? In this video, I walk you through the full experience — from meeting your instructor and pre-flight checks, to taxiing, taking the controls in the air, and experiencing that unforgettable first flight.

I use the Cessna 172, one of the most popular training airplanes, as an example — but the process is very similar no matter what aircraft you start in.

Whether you’re considering flight training or just curious about learning to fly, this gives you a real look at how that first lesson unfolds.

**And apparently one of Mrs. EastCoastAviator's Carebears was peeking on us :D **
