I Fly: Learn 2 Fly

The Cirrus SR22 is equipped with a Cirrus Airframe Parachute Systems. In the unlikely event  of an emergency, you'll pull a red lever or handle hanging from the ceiling of the cockpit and a 65' diameter canopy unfurls, controlling the descent. Not that you'll need it, mind you.

The Cessna 152 hasn't been in production since 1985, 

but still remains a popular -- and safe -- training aircraft.

Getting Started In...Flying

Make Me Want to Do This Easy. Take a ride. Most flight schools and small aviation companies will charge you no more than a couple of hundred dollars for a taste-usually an hour ride, with an instructor. You get to grab the controls for part of the time, zip around, maybe fly over your house.
