The FAA certified instructors at Future Eagles Aviation launch aspiring pilots into the great blue yonder with Discovery Flight School classes and an hour of hands-on soaring over the Bay Area. Pupils first complete three hours of ground instruction on Friday night from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., during which mentors dispense nuggets of piloting know-how such as navigation tips, laws of aerodynamics, and how to differentiate paint nicks from pterodactyl love-bites. During their lesson, students can approach actual aircrafts to absorb plane anatomy and the guidelines of preflight inspections. Graduates then climb into the cockpit of a Cessna 172 Sky Hawk on Saturday morning, pushing off from terra firma for a one-hour jaunt at around 3,500 feet. Teachers bequeath the throttle to piloting protégés for 30 minutes of airtime, and patrons are encouraged to bring a camera for snapshots of steering poses and eagles making duck-faces. After purchasing today's Groupon, buyers can schedule their ascent with an instructor, who will only be on location for those scheduled times, and gander at FAQs here.
