Your Discovery Flight Experience
Meet Your Instructor
You'll begin by meeting one of our experienced flight instructors, who will walk you through the aircraft, explain the basics of flight, and answer any questions before takeoff.
Learn the Aircraft
During your pre-flight briefing, you'll become familiar with the aircraft's controls, instruments, and safety procedures before stepping into the cockpit.
Take to the Skies
After takeoff, your instructor will guide you through the fundamentals of flying, and when appropriate, you'll have the opportunity to take the controls yourself.
Begin Your Journey
Following your flight, you'll have time to ask questions, discuss your experience, and learn about the different training paths available if you decide to continue.
Experience Northern California From Above
Few places offer a more breathtaking environment to learn to fly.
You don't need any aviation experience to enjoy your first flight.
Whether you've dreamed of becoming a pilot for years or simply want to experience something new, our instructors are here to make your first time in the cockpit enjoyable, educational, and memorable.
You'll fly at your own pace, ask questions, and discover what makes aviation so rewarding.
