Flying in Alaska
Posted by hikenjuu@reddit | flying | View on Reddit | 7 comments
I have never flown before, but I’ve recently picked up an interest in aviation and was looking into discovery flights in Alaska (I live here) to see how I feel about it! Arctic Flyers and Land and Sea Aviation seem to be the most promising. Does anybody have any experience with either of them, and if so, what would you recommend?

Im currently a PPL student at Land and Sea and I love it. The instructors are great and accommodating. Would definitely recommend!

That’s awesome! I intend to call them my next day off so I can start lessons and I am beyond excited!

I went to Land and Sea back in the day. Same exact situation. Never flown before and was not from Alaska. Knocked private out over the waning summer months. No idea if the school is the same but I had a great experience. They really were there for me every step of the way and I didn't feel like any of my time was lost. They got me my license at like 41 hours. Just make sure to study the departure procedures! Anchorage has some unique flight rules that will be in the back of the chart supplement/AFD. If you go with Land and Sea, ask them to take you up the Knik river to see the glacier on a good weather day.
