Immersive Training: NY-LA

We teach people how to fly every single day. What makes us different is how we do it.

Rather than staying within a 25-mile radius of home base as is standard practice, we take every opportunity we can to get pilots on the road to experience the adventure, challenges and decision-making skills needed to successfully enjoy flying.

Flight training isn’t just about learning how to land, avoid stalls and other fundamental maneuvers. It’s about seeing the whole picture, thinking ahead and really becoming “pilot-in-command” of your flight.

In this 8-part series, I’ll break down each leg of our most recent XC from NY-LA with a student pilot in N383AP — a 2018 Cirrus SR22T affectionatly known as Alpha Pop.
