DISCOVERY FLIGHTS
Go on a discovery flight with one of our instructors to get a feel for what it's like to be a student pilot!
If you aren't 100% sure about whether flight training is right for you, a 1 hour discovery flight is the perfect way to dip your toes in the water. Once out of controlled airspace, your instructor will walk you through some basic maneuvers and let you try your hand at flying! If this is something you are interested in, book now.
