What Is a Discovery Flight?

A Discovery Flight is a beginner-friendly introductory flight lesson designed to give you hands-on experience with flight controls while flying alongside a certified flight instructor.

You’ll learn how pilots think, how aircraft respond, and what it feels like to take command of an airplane, all in a safe, structured training environment.
