What is EAA Young
Eagles?
The EAA Young Eagles program was
launched in 1992 to give interested young people, ages 8 -
17, an opportunity to go flying in a general aviation
airplane. These flights are offered free of charge and are
made possible through the generosity of EAA member
volunteers.
Since 1992, more than 1.6 million Young Eagles have enjoyed
a flight through the program. Young Eagles have been
registered in more than 90 different countries and have been
flown by more than 42,000 volunteer pilots.
Participation is easy.

sure you come back to visit this web site after your flight
to continue exploring the wonderful world of aviation!
So what will your flight
be like?
The biggest question on your mind might be about the actual
flight. So what should you expect?
First of all, your pilot will explain what will happen
during the flight. This might include talking about the
airplane; reviewing an aeronautical chart (or map);
identifying reference points during the flight; completing a
careful "walk around" preflight inspection of the airplane
and identifying the parts that control the airplane.
Once you are ready to go flying, your pilot will help you
buckle your seat belt and describe the interior of the
airplane, including the instrument panel. Pretty soon, it
will be time to go flying!
Once in the air, you’ll see the earth and sky in a new and
exciting way. You’ll experience the wonderful freedom of
flight that many people only dream about. If you are like
most Young Eagles, you’ll remember this experience for the
rest of your life.
Most Young Eagle flights last between 15 and 20 minutes.
Once back on the ground, there will be additional time for
you to ask questions about the flight. Ask away! Your pilot
will be happy to tell you more about flying and their
particular airplane. And don’t forget, you’ll also receive
an official Young Eagles logbook, which is signed by your
personal pilot.
We look forward to adding your name to the ever-growing list
of EAA Young Eagles!
