What To Expect On Your Discovery Flight

You’ll meet your instructor for a brief preflight overview and inspection, then take the controls (if you wish) to experience the fundamentals of flying. Your instructor will handle all key phases of flight and ensure safety throughout the lesson.

A Casual and Welcoming Experience

Our Discovery Flight offers a friendly, professional, and welcoming first experience to aviation. With safety and fun as our top priorities, your instructor will make sure you are engaged and enjoy this first experience in the sky as a pilot.

You’ll be in a Small Airplane

Unlike commercial airliners you may have flown in, our aircraft are much smaller. Despite their size, they are very comfortable, have seat belts, and a small window you can open.

Participate at your own pace

You’ll meet your instructor to discuss aircraft basics and conduct a brief preflight inspection. Then, with guidance, you’ll learn taxiing, takeoff, and basic maneuvers. Your instructor has controls, and your level of involvement is up to you. Our priority is your learning and enjoyment.

We do not offer scenic flights.
