Prior to their rides there will be a short ground school class to review some of the basics. Questions are welcome on the ground and during the flight, by using the radio headsets.
Prior to take off, during the pre flight walk around, junior aviators will get to examine the exterior aircraft components, review an aeronautical chart and identify reference points to look for while aloft.

During the flight, pilots will teach the junior aviators about the plane, its controls, and instruments.There is absolutely no cost. All that is required is signed parental consent. Parents should bring cameras on the day of the flight.Register at Langley Airport on Saturday, Sept. 12, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the DC3 Club House on 216 Ave., between Fraser Hwy. and 56 Ave., where you see the balloons.
