So, I’ve always wanted to fly a plane. Unfortunately, it will never be in the cards for me. I have had mental health issues to which I was prescribed medications for so I realize that is 100% out. I’ve become okay with that. My question is: the flight schools offer an introductory flight. I don’t want to touch the controls. I just would like to go up in a small plane once in my life. If I’m upfront with them, and say “hey, I’m not going to ever be able to enroll in your classes, but I’d like to take a flight,” are they going to hang up on me or laugh at me? Yes, I realize I could call them and ask, but I don’t want to even waste their phone time. Thank you for your input and safe flying.
Its not a never scenario though, it just costs a lot of time and money to get a medical, more so than many care to expend. Flight schools love to have students like that, instructors get paid, and get hours, flight school gets paid, you get to fly, and everyone is content! :)
