New customers rarely commit to an investment like flight training on a whim. It takes several contact points, typically starting with your website and perhaps a phone call, before they even think about coming in to your flight school.
Of course, when they do make a visit, perhaps for an introductory flight, you'll want to make a great first impression. AOPA has a great resource that you can use to help inspire them to make the commitment to start flight training with you. And the best part is, it’s free!
Our Flight Training You Can Fly Special Edition is an annual issue of Flight Training magazine specifically designed for potential student pilots. It has amazing photos of the adventures that await, an overview of typical training aircraft, a guide to the equipment they'll use in training, information on getting their medical certificate, and much more. Take a peek inside the digital version here.
But wait, there’s more! AOPA will give you a free countertop display that you can use in your flight school along with plenty of copies of the print issue that you can give to potential clients. Request the display for your school. And if you already have the display and would like more copies to refill your display, just email your request to: getmore@aopa.org. We hear from flight schools regularly that rave about how much they and their students love this resource. So, consider giving it a look; you won't get a better price than marketing for free!
This beginning pilots' resource guide explains what you can expect from your introductory flight through initial training—and how to turn your dream of flying into reality.
