Chicago First Flight LessonLearn To Fly a Plane Over Chicagoland During this Exciting Chicago Introductory First Flight Lesson 4 Reviews
Price for 1 participant
Join the elite few who have actually piloted an aircraft during this exciting hands-on Introductory Flight Lesson! During this 1 ˝ hour airborne adventure, you will work with your own personal FAA Certified Flight Instructor, who will walk you through all the things a real pilot does before, during, and after a typical flight. This Flying Lesson begins at the Chicago Executive Airport in Wheeling, IL. Here you will meet with your Instructor who will show you the ropes of piloting a light aircraft during a ground instruction course and preflight safety check. When ready, you will hop into the pilot seat, turn the key to start the plane, taxi the aircraft and assist with takeoff! Once airborne, you will be able to take over the controls and perform in-flight maneuvers during the 30 minute flight including the approach to the runway down to 50 feet! So whether you are looking to begin a new hobby or to simply try your hand at flying - you will be able to say you've soared during your own Scenic Flight Lesson; a truly unique gift.
Unless an Alternative Aircraft Option is selected, the Flight Lesson over Chicago will take place in a Cessna 150. Participation is limited to individuals weighing less than 200lbs and less than 6' tall. Participants over 200lbs or 6' tall must choose the Flight Lesson For Two Option which takes place in a larger plane and has a maximum combined weight of the participant and their guest of 500lbs. Individuals who are pregnant, have broken bones or other physical conditions which are considered unsafe conditions are not eligible to participate. Price includes fuel surcharge. Gratuity for the Instructor is not included and should be extended following the flight.

Cancellation PolicyAmazing First Flight
I bought this for my boyfriend as a Christmas present, he had always expressed a passion to fly one day. I purchased the extra option so that I could go along for the ride. Although I was terrified since I have a fear of flying my boyfriend absolutely loved it. I was amazed by the amount of things he was able to do. He did 98% of flying! He is now thinking of taking up flying as a hobby and can't wait to do it again. This gift is worth every penny and then some!

Incredible First Flight
My experience for the First Flight with the Chicago Executive Flight School was tremendous. My instructor, Adam, was incredibly thorough. My girlfriend was less than excited to fly in such a small plane and he walked us through every step of the pre-flight experience to help ease her fears. While in the air he was incredibly encouraging and overall made the experience one that I will never forget. I would recommend it to anyone that was interested. A truly great experience.

First Flight Lesson
It was one of those things that everyone dreams but never gets to experience. Me and my husband loved everything about it, from A to Z...
