You climb out of Van Nuys, cross the Santa Monica Mountains and come out over Santa Monica Bay, and from there the flight belongs to the coast. One of you flies it with an FAA-certificated instructor in the right seat. The other rides along with a headset and hears every word.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the short version of our Malibu flight, for anyone who wants the water without a two-hour afternoon. The hour does not reach Point Dume — that is what the ninety-minute flight is for — but it gets you a real stretch of Malibu shoreline and brings you home past the Hollywood Sign.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Route Of Flight\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOff Van Nuys and out over the Valley, then a climb across the Santa Monica Mountains, canyons underneath and the ocean showing up long before you reach it.
