How to Takeoff:

In the video above, we’ll walk you through the steps of a Normal Takeoff.

This is the procedure for taking off when there is not much of a crosswind, and you are on a nice long, smooth, paved runway.

Remember:

Look outside over the nose all the way down the runway.

Control your left and right direction on the ground with your feet, NOT your hands!

Hold the controls very gently in your hand, and try to use just one hand on the controls, it takes very little force to make the airplane respond to what you want it to do.
