Video: two first flight lessons

Do you remember your first flight lesson? For most pilots, it’s a blur – a mix of wonder, nervousness and excitement. In this video, you can see it all, from the expectations to the moment of liftoff, as you ride along with two student pilots on their first flight lessons. If you’re already a pilot, you’ll enjoy reliving the big day. If you’re not yet a pilot, this is a great preview, one that shows just how much flying you’ll do on that first lesson.

Video tip – Runway markings and symbols

Not all sections of the runway are created equal, and the FAA uses various symbols and markings painted directly on the pavement to indicate each segment’s purpose. This week’s tip takes a closer look at displaced thresholds, blastpads, EMAS and closed runway signage so you’ll be well-prepared on what to do when you see them in person at the airport.
