Flight Lesson
Criteria To Participate In Young Eagle Flights
Be disciplined and be able to follow
instructions
Submit PATH package prior to
flight
Be courteous and be on “Best
Behavior”.
Understand that the flight is a very
special privilege and not a right.
Must be dedicated to academic
program in school, as evidenced by
attention, homework and discipline
and verified by teacher.
Understand that unless instructions
are followed exactly both on the
ground and in the air, the person
will not be allowed to fly or the
flight will be stopped immediately.
Sit quietly and do not touch
anything unless told to do so by the
pilot.
Do not do anything to distract the
pilot during critical stages of flight
operations, especially during takeoff
and landing.
Understand that the pilot flying the
young person is volunteering
his/her time, aircraft and the cost of
fuel. The pilot wants to help give
the young person a very special
experience and is no way required to
fly the young person.
Understand that although we will
do our best to fly all those approved,
if conditions are unsafe, we will
cancel the flights. The issues could
include problems with the aircraft,
weather deterioration, pilot fatigue,
etc. Efforts will then be made, but
no guarantees given, to reschedule
the flight.
