EAA AVIATION CENTER, OSHKOSH, Wisconsin — The Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) will hold its inaugural Learn to Fly Week May 15-20, 2023, with five days of free webinars, as well as in-person Flying Start events.

“Becoming a pilot is a dream for many, but few know where to start their journey. Learn to Fly Week was created to help encourage aspiring pilots to take action and begin the pilot training process,” said David Leiting, EAA Eagles Program Manager. “Our goal is to show attendees how accessible achieving their dream actually is.”

Learn to Fly Week will feature five days of webinars covering all aspects of the process of becoming a pilot. All sessions will be free to everyone, with archived recordings available to EAA members. A schedule of topics is available at EAA.org/LTFWeek.

Learn to Fly Week will conclude on Saturday, May 20, with Flying Start events hosted by EAA chapters across the country.
