Learn to Fly Over Stunning Southern California
Admire the Stunning Coastal Vistas while Learning to Operate the Controls of a Light Aircraft. Strap into the pilot's seat of a Cessna 172 and fly the plane from San Diego down the coast, learning how to fly while taking in the beautiful scenery all the way to the Mexican border and back. And if that were not enough, share the learning experience with a friend while taking in the breathtaking view from the back seat.
Your experience will begin with a ground lesson on the use of the flight controls. Once aloft, the instructor will direct you on the use of the controls for approximately one hour. You will be handling the controls following your instructor's guidance for most of the flight. This is an amazing way to enjoy the views of Southern California and experience the thrill of flying a light aircraft!

Product Reviews
San Diego Intro Flight Lesson
"I'm hooked! I had a great time and I learned a ton. Bruce is a very experienced and patient instructor. Be careful, this is a gateway lesson... next thing you know your selling your car to pay for the full pilot license training... just kidding (sort of, haha)."

Hands On Intro-Flight
"My fiance bought this for me for Christmas and we went on Valentines Day. The instructor was very professional, which was reassuring for me as the student and my fiance as the passenger. The instruction was a little fasted paced, but that's to be expected. Once we were in the air, the lesson paid off and steps taken to assume full command made sense. The aircraft was very stable and could have flown itself which was comforting for when I made slight mistakes. This was a very rewarding experience that gave me a lot of insight as to how I'd like to further my instruction in flying."

Hands on Intro Flight
"This was an experience my fiance will never forget. All he could tell me was 'It's easy but scary at the same time. It's like driving a car but different.' He loved it. One of the best experience he has had through out his life. I would recommend this to everybody who is not afraid of heights."

"The entire experience was amazing. The instructor, Bruce, was very extremely knowledgeable and polite. He not only made the flight interesting but fun at the same time. This was worth every minute and should be something anyone somewhat interested should try out."

Hands-On Flight Lesson
"WOW...What can I say, but WOW... Truly a great experience. The instruction session was comprehensive and real-world and the flight was incredible! Recommend this Xperience to anyone, but especially those even remotely interested in learning to fly. This will definitely push those who are sitting on the fence (like me) over the edge and into full time flight training. Excellent service all around. WELL DONE!"

Experience Days San Diego Flight Lesson
"The instructor was very patient and professional along with all the staff at the facility. I actually learned A LOT! The log book with an hour clocked in given to me at the end of the flight was a plus. Overall this was a great experience I will never forget. Anyone remotely interested in flying or who just wants to try something new should definitely check this out!"
