Discovery Flight - Flight Lesson.
Your journey to becoming a pilot begins with a fun and exciting discovery flight. You will spend the first 20 minutes on the ground learning about basic aerodynamics, doing a preflight inspection of the aircraft and getting to know your flight instructor. Then the two of you will take to the sky for a 30 minute flight around the local area where, once airborne, YOU will fly the airplane! Not to worry if this is your first time, there are two identical sets of flight controls in case the instructor needs to make corrections or take over for any reason.
There are no age restrictions for discovery flights or flight lessons (however, you must be at least 17 years of age to become a licensed pilot). There is no pressure or obligation to purchase anything further - if you would like additional information about flight lessons after your flight, you may inquire at that time. You will not be added to any mailing lists or email spam lists. The training aircraft is a two-seat airplane with weight and balance limitations, as such, discovery flights are limited to those who weigh no more than 210 lbs (including clothing). Discovery flights are subject to scheduling and nice weather - please allow at least one week advanced notice, however, we will schedule you as soon as practicable, potentially even the same day you call, if that is available. Cell phones may be used for pictures, videos and social media posting before and during the flight (they do not interfere with the safe operation of the airplane). Want to take pictures and videos from the sky? No problem, the instructor will fly for a while and you take all the pictures you want, then YOU can resume flying again. We look forward to introducing you to the fantastic world of flight! For more information, please visit our website: www.wingsflightacademy.com.

About Wings Academy - Flight Training
Wings Academy is a small boutique flight school located at Salem Airport (McNary Field - SLE) in Salem, Oregon. We are not a large commercial operation where you will be treated more like a number (revenue stream) and less like an individual. The total number of students is limited (purposefully) so that each student gets the time and attention he or she needs to accomplish their aviation goals.
Flight training, like most other things in life, is not "one size fits all." We will discuss, early on, what your specific aviation goals are and how best to accomplish them safely and efficiently. Dreaming of becoming an airline pilot? Just want to expand your horizons and fly to fun destinations? Thinking of owning your own small airplane to use for business and pleasure? We will customize your training to fit your personal needs.
New students receive a comprehensive set of lesson plans to keep track of their progress, outline what homework is expected before each lesson, and provide a concise roadmap of what is coming next. They also receive a welcome binder containing important information and tools used along the journey to becoming a pilot.
Training can take place morning, afternoon, evening and weekends when our schedules allow. My regular work allows me to have a flexible schedule for providing flight instruction. Although some flights will need to be done at night (the rules require a certain amount of night training), most flights will be conducted during daytime in good weather.
