What to Expect
Your Discovery Flight is designed to give you a taste of what it's like to be a pilot. You'll spend approximately 60 minutes in the air with one of our certified flight instructors, who will guide you through the basics of flying and answer any questions you may have. You'll also have the opportunity to take the controls and experience the thrill of flying first hand.
During your discovery flight, you'll sit in the pilot seat and the FAA Certified Flight Instructor at your side will allow you to fly for the majority of the flight. A discovery flight is a great option if you’re considering a career in aviation, a new hobby or it can make a unique gift for anyone at any age. You can even bring a friend to ride along. At the end of the flight, the instructor will be able to answer any questions that you may have.
