Imagine sitting in the cockpit of a single-engine plane, looking down at the city buzz of Cleveland juxtaposed by the calm waters of Lake Erie. Such is the experience of a session with Cleveland Flight Lessons, which provides aviation training for aspiring pilots. During a 30-minute Discovery Flight Lesson, an experienced instructor teaches the ins and outs of flying a plane, even letting quick learners fly the plane themselves. At the end of the lesson, the instructor awards the student a commemorative Certificate of Flight—and for those who go on to pursue full-on aviation training, the session counts toward pilot certification.
