When you first come to Performance Flight here is what you can expect. Arrive at the Westair building and get ready to begin your pursuit for the ultimate experience. You will sit down with a Performance Flight instructor who will discuss all school policies such as scheduling. You will then begin learning with a preflight inspection of the airplane. Your instructor will teach you the proper method for visually and physically inspecting the airplane. You will start on the outside checking all moving parts, engine oil, landing gear, and more. Next, climb in...once the batteries are switched on your adrenalin will really start to pump as the advanced avionics systems come alive offering a wealth of information, all at your fingertips. You will learn how to check all systems and flows for proper operation. Once complete it’s time to start the engine and head to the runway for your first flight lesson. Just try and hold back a wide grin when you land...we dare you! The more often you fly the sooner you will complete your training. A significant portion of what you will learn is muscle memory that teaches you how to physically control the airplane. The light touch to fly smoothly is an acquired skill that comes with time, and repetition leads to perfection. All flight lessons are taught in 3-hour blocks and ground school is usually 2 hours per session. We strongly encourage you to make your best efforts to fly 2 to 4 times per week. Most students complete their training in approximately 60 hours, although additional time may be required based on your pace. Come in for an Experience Flight to see what it’s like to fly a plane and see why Performance Flight is consistently recognized by local and national media as the premier flight training center in the Northeast.
