Take to the Skies With Discovery Flights

Get your first taste of flying with a Discovery Flight from Freeflight Aviation. Discovery Flights are a unique opportunity for novice flyers, giving you a hands-on flight experience. During your flight, you will:


  • Learn basic principles about flight before departure
  • Learn how to start the aircraft
  • Taxi the aircraft to the runway of departure
  • Cover departing procedures
  • Manage the controls of the aircraft


All of this happens under the control of our experienced and seasoned flight instructors. Our Discovery Flights are considered introductory training flights by the FAA and are intended for one person only. Depending on the age of the student, a parent may accompany their child with permission from the flight instructor. Your first flight can be with our fun flight school!


There are two packages to consider, and they make excellent gifts for aspiring pilots of all ages. Are you ready to fly? Call or text Freeflight Aviation to book your Discovery Flight.
