Discovery Flight
The purpose of a discovery flight is to place you into the world of a pilot with your first time in air. Because of the hands-on nature of flight training, this will NOT simply be an airplane ride. From the moment you and your FAA certified instructor walk out to the airplane you will be acting as the pilot under their careful supervision. They will walk you through preflight preparation and handling the airplane on the ground; you will even be at the controls for take off! Once airborne, you'll begin to get a feel for how the airplane flies and will execute a few flight maneuvers.
Most discovery flights last about an hour and include a flight down the shore of Lake Michigan toward downtown Chicago. You will pass landmarks like Wrigley Field, Navy Pier, Millennium Park and Northerly Island.
The first step to earning your pilot license is taking a discovery flight. Flying an airplane is a feeling unlike any other, and we hope that you'll enjoy your first flight with us as countless others have. The only way to know if it's for you is to come out and fly!
Flight costs vary depending on how long you are in the air, but most discovery flights last about an hour and cost between $150 and $200.
