Los Angeles: Fly a Plane with a Flight Instructor｜United States

Meet at Accelerated Flight Academy at Van Nuys Airport for a preflight briefing, aircraft walk-around, and cockpit orientation. Then board the Piper Warrior II for a real introductory flight lesson with an FAA-certified flight instructor beside you. Practice basic flying fundamentals under instructor guidance when conditions permit. The experience includes approximately one hour of flight time, plus briefing and debriefing. Possible views may include the Hollywood Sign, Downtown Los Angeles, Marina del Rey, Santa Monica Pier, and the Malibu coastline. The route and landmark views vary with weather, air traffic control, airspace, aircraft performance, and safety. Each booking is for one participant receiving hands-on flight instruction. No previous flight experience is required. This is a real introductory flight lesson for first-time flyers, future students, or anyone curious about learning to fly.
