SPECIALTY COURSES
DISCOVERY FLIGHT
Interested in what it’s like to fly? Always been a bucket list item? Want to ‘try it’ before you decide?
A discovery flight is the best way to see what flying is all about. Start by meeting a certified flight instructor and talking about the basic functions of the plane and what you will be doing once you are airborne. Next, you will get in the pilot’s seat of the plane with your instructor in the co-pilot’s seat and you will start the flight portion of your experience. This is where you will get your first taste of learning to fly.
Once you are back on the ground, your flight instructor can sign your log book as you will have had your first flying lesson. The first step every pilot takes on their path to getting their license.
Our discovery flights are not just scenic, you will actually take control of the plane under the guidance of your Certified Flight Instructor!
It’s an experience that should be on everyone’s bucket list.
Discovery flights make perfect gifts for you or a special someone in your life. Give yourself or someone you love a present that will make memories. Discovery flights are perfect for:
