Meaningful Group Experiences for Kids Who Love Aviation

Our youth group sessions are designed for ages 8 and up. The minimum age of 8 is based on attention span, safety, and ability to follow instructions. Most kids ages 8-16 find the experience engaging and educational.

No! While many of our young aviators come to us with simulator experience (MS Flight Sim, X-Plane), it's not required. Our instructors will tailor the session to each child's skill level, whether they're complete beginners or experienced virtual pilots.

Yes! Parents and guardians are welcome to observe the entire session. You can take photos and videos to capture the experience. However, our facility is a professional office environment with limited observer space.

This is real flight training. Our FAA-certified simulator uses the same procedures and systems that student pilots learn. The difference from video games is that we teach actual flight training curriculum, not arcade-style flying.

No, we are a professional flight training facility. While we welcome group sessions for birthdays, this is a structured training experience with a real instructor, not a traditional party venue. You're welcome to bring light refreshments, but please note that the host is responsible for all setup and cleanup.

Yes, you're welcome to bring light refreshments for your group. We have a galley cart available for serving, and our conference room can be reserved for breaks. Please note that you are responsible for all setup and cleanup. We do not provide party supplies, decorations, or party favors.

The ideal group size is 3-4 kids to ensure everyone gets substantial flying time. We can accommodate groups of 5-6 with shorter rotations. For groups larger than 6, please contact us—we do not offer large group options for youth sessions as we prioritize quality training time.

Our standard youth group session is 3 hours, which includes a pre-flight briefing followed by hands-on flying time where every participant rotates through the pilot's seat.

Absolutely. Every session reinforces STEM concepts: physics (lift, drag, thrust, weight), math (navigation calculations, fuel planning), and problem-solving (decision-making under pressure). Many parents tell us their kids come home talking about the science behind flying.

Our instructors are experienced working with young aviators and create a supportive, encouraging environment. The simulator is a fixed-base (no motion), so there's no motion sickness concern. If a child feels overwhelmed, we can adjust the scenario or let them observe until they're comfortable.

Yes! Siblings or friends of different ages (within our 8-16 range) can participate together. Our instructors are skilled at adapting to different skill levels and keeping everyone engaged.
