“Diamond Flight” is a three-day immersive discovery flight “team experience” for a parent (or guardian) and their student.

Parent/guardian participation in all camp activities (including flight) is mandatory for minors to participate.

Designed to provide introductory flight training, the program is presented in three components across three days: Live flight training in beautiful north central Arizona; Aviation related knowledge topics (Weather, Air Traffic Management, Safety Analysis, Night Operations, Cross Country Operations) presented in an easy-to-understand format and a simulated flight in a synthetic reality environment.

The team of one parent (or guardian) and child will enjoy dedicated one on one instruction in our Diamond DA42 “TwinStar” aircraft. These “TwinStars” are twin-engine aircraft and are all equipped with the latest in advanced avionics (Garmin G1000 System). In addition, each team will also get to try their hand at flying our twin engine DA42 FRASCA simulator. Your experience will be facilitated by a member of the instruction team at every point to ensure a safe and exciting time in the air and on the ground.
