Overview
Soar to new heights as you start your journey toward earning your wings with this exciting Discovery Flying Lesson!
- Learn to fly under the careful guidance of your FAA Certified Flight Instructor
- Train in a Diamond DA40, a popular and trusted flight training aircraft
- Experience a preflight inspection and a hands-on flying lesson
- A great introduction for anyone who dreams of pursuing a private pilot’s license
- Sit in the pilot’s seat on your very first flight – no experience necessary!
This “Learn to Fly” experience is a great way to figure out if becoming a pilot is right for you. You’ll kick things off when you meet your FAA Certified Flight Instructor, who will walk you through a pre-flight inspection. Learn how to check the fuel, the oil, and the instruments to make sure the plane is airworthy.
After the pre-check, you’ll climb into the pilot's seat and get ready for take-off. Your instructor will be right beside you, taxiing down the runway and lifting up into the sky. But once you reach cruising altitude, you’re the one who takes the controls.
This flying lesson is no sightseeing tour. You aren’t just along for the ride. You’ll do as much flying as possible so you can really get a feel for what it’s like to pilot your own plane. During the lesson, you'll learn basic flight maneuvers, experience all the different phases of flight, and feel the unparalleled exhilaration and freedom of flying an airplane.
If you’ve ever dreamed of getting your pilot’s license, this Discovery Flying Lesson is an exciting introduction into the wild blue yonder!
