Take a Discovery Flight!

A Discovery Flight offers an introductory experience for those interested in an aviation career, learning to fly for fun, or anyone interested in a thrilling new experience.

What To Expect On Your Discovery Flight

Our Discovery Flights are designed for anyone curious about aviation—whether you’re exploring a future career or just want to experience the thrill of flight.

Choose your wings.

With our modern, safe, and well maintained Cessna aircraft you will have the best seat in the sky. Every aircraft is equipped with essential safety features, and you’ll fly alongside a certified instructor. Choose between a Cessna 152 or a Cessna 172 and get hands-on from the start. 

Cessna 152

Roll-over for more info!
A perfect training starter, the Cessna 152 is a smaller, two-seat plane that’s great for learning the basics and building confidence in the cockpit.

Cessna 172

Roll-over for more info!
With more power and room for four, the Cessna 172 is ideal for longer flights, carrying passengers, and taking your skills to the next level.
The sky is the limit.

Our Discovery Flight is the perfect first step into aviation—welcoming, professional, and all about you. You’ll get a full hour with a certified instructor, including around 30 minutes of hands-on flying. Afterward, take a tour of our training center and aircraft. It’s all about safety, fun, and giving you a true taste of what it’s like to be a pilot.

It's your Discovery Flight!

Before takeoff, you’ll join your instructor for a preflight inspection to ensure everything’s ready to fly. From there, how much you participate is up to you—watch and learn, or take the controls during takeoff, climb, and cruise. Have questions? Ask away—your instructor is here to help every step of the way.

Though our flights are quite scenic, we do not offer “scenic flights.” All our discovery flights are “promotional flight training flights” per federal requirements.
