Freedom in its purest form. That’s how pilot Gary Stokor described flying in his poem, “Impressions of a Pilot.” When you book a Freedom Flight with Near North, we give you a chance to feel the excitement and joy of flying an aircraft. Whether you’re considering a career or a new hobby, prepare yourself for an incredible and empowering experience!
A Freedom Flight is a hands-on introduction to the world of aviation where you can discover the thrill of flying an aircraft, and learn more about the process of flight training. When you decide to pursue your Private Pilot Licence, the Freedom Flight will count towards your required hours.
You can book a Freedom Flight for any time that works with your schedule. We’ll reserve a time slot with one of our experienced flight instructors, and when you arrive get a tour of our training facility and a behind-the-scenes look at the pre-flight procedures prior to heading out to the aircraft.
Our fleet is maintained to exacting standards by our on-site maintenance team to ensure a comfortable and safe flight.
After the mandatory safety briefing, you’ll be ready to take to the skies! Wearing the provided headset you’ll be able to hear the standard radio phraseology required for safe flight, and you’ll be able to communicate with the instructor as well. We encourage you to ask questions and learn all you can!
But that’s not all — once airborne, your instructor will hand the controls over to you, and you’ll get to do the flying! You’ll enjoy a scenic flight like you’ve never seen. And when your Freedom Flight is over, we can help you plan your path to become a licensed pilot.
We hope you enjoy your Freedom Flight and we look forward to helping you find freedom in its purest form.
To ensure the best possible learning experience and to comply with training regulations, introductory flights are reserved for the pilot in training only. Unfortunately, no additional passengers can be accommodated on these flights. If you’d like to bring a friend, we offer sightseeing flights as well!
