"Diamond Flight" is a three-day immersive discovery flight "team experience" for a parent (or guardian) and their student.
Parent/guardian participation in all camp activities (including flight) is mandatory for minors to participate.
Designed to provide introductory flight training, the program is presented in three components across three days: Live flight training in beautiful north central Arizona; Aviation related knowledge topics (Weather, Air Traffic Management, Safety Analysis, Night Operations, Cross Country Operations) presented in an easy-to-understand format and a simulated flight in a synthetic reality environment.
The team of one parent (or guardian) and child will enjoy dedicated one on one instruction in our Diamond DA42 "TwinStar" aircraft. These "TwinStars" are twin-engine aircraft and are all equipped with the latest in advanced avionics (Garmin G1000 System).

Your experience will be facilitated by a member of the instruction team at every point to ensure a safe and exciting time in the air and on the ground.
