Flying Start
EAA Flying Start is a chapter hosted program which welcomes, inspires, and educates aspiring aviators about their pathway to becoming a pilot.
The program consists of an EAA-prepared PowerPoint presentation, which the hosting chapter customizes with information about their local chapter and flight training resources. The event is capped off with a free introductory Eagle Flight with an EAA volunteer mentor pilot.
