Questions, answered
Everything you need to know before your first time at the controls.
No. A discovery flight is designed for people with zero experience. Your instructor explains everything on the ground before you take off.
Yes. Once you are safely in the air, your instructor hands you the controls. The aircraft has dual controls, so your instructor can take over at any time.
Time flown with a certified flight instructor can be logged as dual instruction, so your discovery flight can be the first entry in your pilot logbook.
Safety comes first. If conditions are not suitable, we will help you reschedule for the next available day.
The FAA has no minimum age to take a flight lesson. Students under 18 need consent from a parent or guardian.
In most cases, yes. Contact our team before booking so we can confirm what you need to bring.
