Students learn from active airline pilots using FAA-approved flight simulators in small group settings for personalized, hands-on instruction.
The Young Aviators Program at Kids Flight School NYC introduces students aged 8-17 to the exciting world of flight and aviation careers. Participants engage in hands-on learning using FAA-approved flight simulators, guided by active airline pilots. Younger aviators (8-12) focus on foundational skills such as basic stick-and-rudder control, instrument scanning, and simple air traffic control (ATC) calls in one-hour sessions. Older students (13-15) advance to more complex procedures including traffic patterns, VOR navigation, and checklist discipline in two-hour sessions. The program emphasizes building real aviation skills, discipline, and confidence through structured lessons and FAA-approved procedures. Students gain an introduction to the cockpit, learn about basic controls, instruments, and radio communication, and log hours in a zero-risk environment. This personalized instruction in small groups of up to three students per class ensures focused learning and steady progress, preparing them for potential future flight training.
Ideal for young students aged 8-17 interested in exploring aviation fundamentals and careers, who benefit from structured, hands-on learning with professional airline pilots.
