Executive Flight is an immersive, three-day flight experience designed for adult participants who are eager to explore flight training. This hands-on program provides an introduction to aviation across three main components: live flight training (eight hours) in stunning north central Arizona, aviation knowledge sessions on essential topics (Weather, Air Traffic Management, Safety Analysis, Night Operations and Cross-Country Operations) and simulated flight in a state-of-the-art synthetic reality environment.
Participants will enjoy personalized, one-on-one instruction in our advanced Diamond DA42 "TwinStar" aircraft — twin-engine planes equipped with innovative Garmin G1000 avionics. Each participant can also fly the DA42 FRASCA simulator. An experienced instructor will be present throughout the experience, ensuring both safety and excitement on the ground and in the air.
Program Highlights
- Eight hours of exclusive flight time in the DA-42s, with three flights: a local orientation flight, a cross-country trip to a destination airport and a night flight to the greater Phoenix area.
