What's a lesson like? A typical flight lesson is about an hour in the air, with time before and after the flight to discuss with your instructor what you will do, and what you did. Your instructor should allow time for questions as well, and a lesson will usually occur over a two-hour block. Sometimes, your lessons will consist entirely of " ground school, " where you'll learn and review aviation knowledge with your instructor. These lessons are often an hour to two hours as well, though they can be longer depending on the subject. FLIGHTTRAINING.AOPA.ORG 13http://FLIGHTTRAINING.AOPA.ORG
