Is there a uniform policy?

No, however we request that you do not wear open-toed shoes, flip flops, or sandals as we do not want these items to slide off your feet while operating the rudder pedals.

What do I need to bring to the first lesson?

Please bring a logbook, passport or birth certificate, driver’s license, and your FAA medical certificate (if you have it already). Additionally, bring a method of online payment to enroll you in the GoldSeal ground school.
