Ground School

A 12-week course designed to cover all the knowledge needed to become a certified pilot

Our experienced flight instructors cover everything from aerodynamics to flight operations, from understanding airspace and navigation charts to weather planning, and more. We will help you prepare – and guarantee you’ll pass – the FAA’s written test!

Discovery Flight

Experience the thrill of flight and explore the opportunities available in the world of aviation

A Discovery Flight is an interactive but low-pressure first flight lesson that lasts around one hour. It includes approximately 30 minutes of ground instruction and 30 minutes of flight time. You will first meet with a flight instructor and cover the basic concepts of flight. Next, you and your instructor will perform a preflight inspection of the aircraft prior to taking flight. Then you will grab the controls and prepare for takeoff. With help from your CFI sitting next to you, you will learn how to fly the aircraft by performing basic flight maneuvers while enjoying the great view from aloft.
