I'm Interested In Flying Lessons

Aimed at perspective flying students, this informative tape gives people an overview of what to expect. Neither instruction, nor a sales job for flying lessons, this program is hosted by an elderly gentleman, who follows Bill, a trainee, through all the major steps of flight instruction. We watch Bill take his first solo, practice stalls, embark on a cross-country flight, and work on takeoffs and landings. Throughout, viewers are given a realistic assessment of the time and work involved in getting a Private Pilot License. Age requirements, expenses, a tour of the airport, and simulated oral exams give viewers a reasonable idea of what such a major commitment entails. In addition to the excellent airborne photography which give the audience a "you are there" feeling, the program also includes career information in the flying business. Recommended.
