Experience flying from the pilot’s seat!

Join other adventurous New Yorkers for this exclusive introduction to flying.

Take to the air and experience flying for yourself! Learning to fly is easy, safe and fun for everyone.

The Flight

You will participate in flight training with instructors and then board the plane and experience flying--with you in control! Your Familiarization Flight will introduce you to the professional environment that the Sunset Air Flying Club offers. Your experience includes a preflight briefing, an opportunity to fly the plane, post–flight review and taxis.

You will learn in a Cessna propeller plane and your flight will be 20 minutes per person. The flight instructor will handle takeoff and landing, but once airborne, you are in control! Don’t worry, the instructor is there to coach you. This is the perfect trip to see if a full flying course is for you, or just to have a unique experience that few other people can claim!

There is a 200 lb. maximum weight limit per person.

Singles Ice Climbing

Experienced, Fun & Qualified Guides

From cycling across the United States to leading horse treks through New Zealand to scaling Nepalese peaks, Outdoor Bound guides have real-world outdoor experience. Collectively, they have hiked, biked, climbed and kayaked tens of thousands of miles around the globe.

Whether their professional backgrounds are as teachers, personal trainers, artists, environmentalists or business leaders, they all have an extensive knowledge of the natural world and local history. Each guide has also passed a rigorous guide certification program and is trained in wilderness first aid or as a Wilderness First Responder.

Diverse & Interesting Groups

There is no typical Outdoor Bound participant. While ages typically range from 20 to 50, those who come to experience outdoor adventure range from singles to couples, from lawyers to waiters. They are a mix of women and men. While the group is always diverse, you will certainly feel welcome. Our guides go the extra mile to make the atmosphere of each trip social and fun. Many people in the Outdoor Bound community have forged lasting friendships as a result of our trips.

New Experiences

Skydiving, ice-climbing, hot-air ballooning, skiing and hiking every weekend are just a few of Outdoor Bound’s year-round adventures. These trips are accessible to everyone, including the novice, who might feel a little uneasy, the young urban professional trying to get away and even the adrenaline junkie looking for a new rush.

Environmental Awareness

“Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but pictures,” is the Leave No Trace motto embraced by Outdoor Bound. From purchasing bamboo T-shirts to printing with soy-based inks on recycled paper, Outdoor Bound strives to create the least environmental impact possible while on trips and in the office.
