A few things to know so your flight goes smoothly.
Bring up to 2 additional people at no extra cost. They can ride along in the back or wait at the office or patio with a view at the runway.
Total cabin weight (including pilot + instructor + all passengers + baggage) must stay under aircraft limits. Tell us everyone's weight when booking so we can verify safe loading.
Discovery Flights are prepaid. We'll send a secure payment link after you contact us. This locks in your aircraft and instructor for your date.
If we cancel for weather/safety, your prepayment is held for a future date or refunded. No charge to reschedule. Pilot's call on weather is final.
Comfortable clothes. Closed-toe shoes (sneakers are perfect). Sunglasses recommended. Skip strong perfume/cologne — small cabin.
Photo ID is required. That's it. We provide everything else — headsets and the plane. No medical certificate needed.
