The Pinch Hitter Class is designed for a non-pilot, who frequently sits as a passenger in the 

right seat of a general aviation airplane, and wants to learn about what the pilot is 

doing and about emergency situations. It is a class where learning about aviation is an 

enjoyable experience.  The class is not designed around a specific model airplane but gives 

the participant a good understanding what piloting is about and how to be helpful as the 

“unofficial co-pilot” when sitting in the right seat. The Pinch Hitter Class lasts 6 weeks, meets 

once a week, for 2 hours. 

CURRENT CLASS INFORMATION
