Give an Online Flying Lesson
The perfect gift for the pilot, aviation/flight sim enthusiast, or techie in your life. A hands-on, online flying lesson (1 hr) with an expert flight instructor.
How it works
- Meet with a Certified Flight Instructor
- Share your flight simulator with the instructor via Zoom
- Learn how to fly!
Our Services
- We help prepare students for real-world flight training. Prepare for your flight lessons at home with expert CFIs to save over $1000 on your flight training. Maintain discipline & avoid dangerous bad habits.
- We also love working with anyone interested in aviation—even if they've never touched an aircraft! Bring the ultimate realism to your flight sim experience and learn to fly the right way. Avoid endless hours watching YouTube tutorials and quickly learn to fly on ATC networks like VATSIM & PilotEdge.
- Don't have a flight simulator? No problem. For a hands-on experience, the recipient must already have a desktop flight simulation such as X-Plane/MSFS (approximately $60 USD), or FlightGear (free), as well as suitable hardware to use it. If you or the recipient needs help setting up a simulator, we provide purchase and setup assistance—including for advanced hardware and VR (virtual reality).
- We also provide ground (theory) instruction. If the recipient doesn’t have a flight simulator, we can also provide basic theoretical ground instruction to help them prepare for future hands-on lessons. For current student pilots, we can provide personalized help preparing for your oral and written exams, or practicing ATC communications. No simulator needed.
