Get ready to have the experience of your lifetime!

 We’ll show you how to become a Young Eagle and taste the freedom of flight that most people only dream about.

First, read about what to expect on your first flight. Next, find a flight and locate your nearest Young Eagles coordinator. That person will help you get in contact with a Young Eagles pilot, who’ll schedule your flight.

YOUR FLIGHT EXPERIENCE

Your Young Eagles^® flight will last approximately 20 minutes.

Here’s how your flight will go:

1. On the ground
   Your pilot explains what will happen during the flight. You may talk about the airplane, review an aeronautical chart (or map), and complete a careful “walk-around” preflight inspection of the airplane.
2. Just before takeoff
   Your pilot explains the interior of the airplane, including the operation of the aircraft door, safety belts, and instrument panel.
3. In the air
   The flight lasts between 15 and 20 minutes. And, if you want, your pilot may let you take the controls!
4. Back on the ground
   There’s more time for you to ask questions about the flight. Your pilot is happy to tell you more about flying and his or her particular airplane.

First time flyers will be presented with their own official Young Eagles Logbook, including a personal code to activate a free EAA Student Membership and Sporty’s Learn to Fly Course — and even become eligible for a free flight lesson!
