A Discovery Flight is an introductory flight for $199 for those interested in pursuing a pilot's license. The goal of this flight is to see if you are comfortable in a small aircraft and if flying is something you or a friend or loved one would want to pursue. Even if you choose not to, it is an exciting experience for yourself or great as a gift!
These flights are approximately 30-45 minutes in length. You will fly in the pilot’s seat next to one of our FAA Certified Flight Instructors in the co-pilot’s seat and actually FLY the aircraft. You and your pilot will take-off from the airport and perform basic aircraft maneuvers. Appointments are to be made via the contact form.
Discovery flights are by appointment only.
