Get Started with a Familiarization Flight
Curious about flight training? Get started with a familiarization flight where you will be paired with one of our experienced instructors and learn the basic fundamentals of flying. This one-hour experience begins with a ground briefing, followed by a half-hour flight in one of our aircraft where you will have the first-hand opportunity to be behind the controls! This is a great way to ask questions about our programs and determine the best option for your specific needs.
Cost: Starts at $138.08 taxes included.
* Note that billing for the flight is based on the time the engine is running, and 15-20 minutes of every flight is maneuvering the aircraft on the ground and completing checklist items. Timings for the flight may be affected by circumstances out of our control such as Air Traffic Control requirements or traffic. Most training aircraft contain only two seats; other aircraft may be available with additional seats for passengers at additional cost. Price as quoted is for a Cessna 152.
