Discovery Flight Experience
Take the controls and experience the thrill of flight with one of our experienced certified flight instructors. Perfect for aspiring pilots or as an unforgettable gift! Schedule at your convenience—we work with your availability.
Perfect for Beginners
No experience necessary! Our discovery flights are designed to be comfortable and enjoyable for everyone.
You're in control: You don't have to take the flight controls if you're not comfortable. Your certified flight instructor will take you flying and show you what is done during flight training.
What you'll experience: Your instructor will demonstrate turns, climbs, descents, and depending on your comfort level, may even show you a private pilot maneuver such as steep turns.
Aircraft: All discovery flights are conducted in a Cessna 172, one of the most popular and reliable training aircraft in the world.
Age requirements: There are no age restrictions! However, participants under 18 must have parental approval via a signed form.
Count toward your license: Flight hours from your discovery flight may be logged and count toward your private pilot certificate!
Bring your logbook: If you have a pilot logbook, bring it with you and your flight instructor will sign it after your flight.
Stay hydrated: Make sure you're well hydrated before your flight. Drink plenty of water in the hours leading up to your discovery flight.
Motion sickness: Some people may experience motion sickness during flight. Let your instructor know if you start feeling uncomfortable - they can adjust the flight accordingly.
