King Academy of Flight

King Academy of Flight's head instructor focuses just as much on teaching the joy and philosophy of flight as she does the practical skills of a pilot. For some lessons, she visually dissects aircraft new and old, ranging from propeller-craft such as the Nanchan CJ-6A––a plane she sometimes flies––to modern airliners, and everything in between. Other lessons, of course, focus on practical skills, highlighting ideas gleaned from her endless practical experience. While she teaches how to read instruments and the like, she also teaches how to fly over mountains or how to deal with minor events that can happen in older craft, such as the Red Baron trying to start a dogfight with you.
