Our most popular flights

Intro flights

Your first flying lesson, with a certificated flight instructor beside you at the dual controls. The $99 intro flight is one lap in the traffic pattern: you taxi, take off and land, with as much help from your instructor as you need. The $199 discovery flight is a bit longer, so you get more time at the controls.

  • Ground briefing and walk-around with your instructor
  • You handle the controls in flight
  • Time can be logged toward a pilot certificate
  • Buy it for yourself or as a gift
