How Sessions Operate
We follow a flight instruction model. Each session begins with an introductory demonstration. Each weekend has 3 missions that can be completed. The introductory flight mission is designed for beginning flyers to learn how to fly, land, and take off in a simulated aircraft. The other two missions rotate weekly. The schedule and description can be found in the Schedule section.
Our facilitators will show you how to properly control an aircraft, like the Beechcraft Baron 58, including the all-important landing procedure. Once proficiency has been achieved in basic procedures, enjoy a sightseeing flight around the Bay!
The Flight Sim Zone is wheelchair accessible.

- large 4K screen, 3,840 x 2,160-pixel display
