Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need any prior flying experience?

Nope! Discovery Flights are designed for beginners with zero flight time. Your instructor will guide you through everything step-by-step.

How long does the Discovery Flight last?

The experience typically lasts about one hour, including a pre-flight briefing and around 30-45 minutes in the air.

Will I actually get to fly the airplane?

Yes! Under the supervision of your instructor, you'll take the controls and get a feel for real flying — it's safe, exciting, and entirely hands-on.

What should I bring with me?

Just a valid government-issued photo ID. We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and sunglasses. If it's chilly, bring a light jacket.

Can I bring someone with me?

Depending on the aircraft and weight limits, you may be able to bring one passenger. Please check with us ahead of time to confirm.

Does this count toward getting my pilot’s license?

Yes! Your instructor can log this flight time in your logbook, and it counts toward the FAA flight hour requirements if you choose to continue training.

Is there an age requirement?

Most Discovery Flights are open to anyone 12 years or older. Younger flyers may be allowed with parental consent — check with us first.

Is it safe?

Absolutely. You'll be flying with a certified flight instructor in a well-maintained aircraft under FAA safety standards. Safety is always our top priority.

What happens if the weather is bad?

If the weather isn’t safe for flying, we’ll contact you to reschedule at no extra charge. Your safety always comes first.

Can I purchase this as a gift?

Yes! Discovery Flights make great gifts. Let us know and we can provide a printable certificate or special instructions for the recipient.
