How do I get started?
How do I get started?
We offer discovery flights to first-time pilots interested in pursuing their pilot’s license. Our discovery flights consist of one hour of ground instruction followed by one hour of flight time, both with one of our instructors. During the ground session, the instructor will provide instruction to the student on the topics of weight and balance and the preflight of the assigned aircraft. Once this is completed, the student and instructor will take the aircraft to our practice area, a few miles North of our airport, to complete basic flight training, including turns, climbs, and descents. The goal of the discovery flight is to ensure that prospective pilots are comfortable in small aircraft, as well as in our aircraft, and with our instructors, and to help generate interest in pursuing flight training. Call us to schedule your discovery flight – we look forward to hearing from you!
