$50 for an introductory ride? how economical!


Yes, it's pretty reasonable. Some places may charge a few dollars more.

actually how is it about?


I'm guessing that you mean what an introductory flight is like. They will

show
you the controls and tell you how to use them and talk with you for a

while. That
takes ten to twenty minutes. You will then sit in the left seat (that's

the
pilot's seat), and an instructor will sit next to you in the right seat.

He or
she will tell you what to do. Some schools will have the instructor take

off
and then let you fly the plane for a while. Then they come back and land.

Other
schools let you do all of the flying, but the instructor keeps his hands

and
feet on the controls during takeoff and landing to help you out. The

flight
usually lasts 20 minutes or so.
