What happens on the day:
Flying lessons start with a briefing from your instructor before the flight. This will cover safety, and an introduction to some of the controls. Once in the plane, the flying lessons start from the time the engine turns over. You will be given headphones so that you can hear conversations between your instructor and air traffic control, and so that you can talk with your instructor. Once in the air, you will be able to take the controls but your pilot will generally land the plane and taxi back.
