Discovery flights

A real first flight lesson, not a sightseeing ride. The price includes everything, airplane and instruction.

30-minute discovery flight
$149, airplane included
About 30 minutes at the controls, around 1 hour 45 total.
You leave with the time logged and signed in your own logbook, and photos the same day.
Book the 30-minute discovery flight
1-hour discovery flight
$209, airplane included
The full first lesson. One hour of flight time, engine start to shutdown, about 45 minutes of it in the air, so there's time to learn something rather than sample it.
You leave with the time logged and signed in your own logbook, photos the same day, and a written training plan that says what a certificate would take for you, in hours and dollars.

Why train here

Depth
Hours, not enthusiasm. 2,000 given, a 400-student academy, stage checks, initial CFIs.
Continuity
Same instructor, start to checkride. No handoffs, no restarts, no hour-building departure.
Standards
ACS-grade, written down. Written debrief after every lesson, honest readiness calls.
Safety culture
Risk management as the subject. ADM and go/no-go discipline taught explicitly.
