After the flight, he or she can help you learn more about how to get involved in your local aviation community, including the next steps you can take on the path to becoming a pilot.
The best part? The whole experience is free. No sales. No pressure. Just a whole lot of fun and education with a big take-home point: Your dream of flying is a lot closer than you think.

Paso Robles EAA Chapter 465 completed implementation, on November 7, of a new EAA program intended to introduce adults 18 and over to the aviation field. The program consists of a two-hour introduction to the aviation sector, different types of aircraft and pilots licenses – with a focus on how to take the first step and get a Private Pilot License. The seminar was attended by 13 participants ranging in age from about 18 to 60 and about equal numbers of men and women, including a number of students from Cal Poly, plus several local pilots. . Kendall Pearson, our Chapter Vice President and Eagle Coordinator, presented the seminar at his hanger, and he is scheduling the second phase of the program which includes identifying a mentor pilot for each participant and taking them for a flight. If you are an EAA member and a pilot please contact Kendall kendallflys@yahoo.com so he can put you in-touch with one of the participants and you can take him/her for an introductory flight. For more on the Eagles Program check our Chapter web site at https://chapters.eaa.org/eaa465/eagle-flights and we intend to do this successful program again in 2021.
