A chance to explore
A discovery flight is an introductory experience with a flight instructor. Ask the school how the session is structured, what is included and how to prepare.
Questions to bring
Who will teach me? What aircraft will we use? What happens if weather changes the plan? Can we discuss my goals before flying?
