A Discovery Flight is your official first lesson in a certified aircraft. You will sit in the left seat (the captain's seat) of our Cessna 172, learn essential flight controls, communicate with North Perry Tower, and take the controls in flight to perform real climbs, turns, and descents over South Florida.
Best of all, your flight time is 100% official and recorded in an FAA pilot logbook that counts directly toward your Private Pilot Certificate.
