Discovery Flight

A discovery flight is an introductory flight lesson that flight schools offer to prospective students who are interested in learning to fly. During a discovery flight, you will usually have the opportunity to fly the airplane with the guidance of a certified flight instructor.
The purpose of a discovery flight is to give you a firsthand experience of what it is like to fly an airplane and to help you determine if pursuing flight training is something you would like to pursue further. You’ll learn about the basics of flying, including how the airplane is controlled, how to use the instruments, and how to communicate with air traffic control.
Discovery flights typically last between thirty minutes to an hour, and the cost can vary depending on the flight time and other related cost. We offer a discounted price discovery flight as a way to attract potential students.
