Intro Flights

IMG_2126

Your intro flight, also known as a discovery flight, is the first step to earning your private pilot license. During your intro flight, you’ll have the opportunity to experience what flying a helicopter is really like. The discovery flight experience begins with an introductory ground lesson when you arrive at the hangar. Then, you and one of our experienced certified flight instructors will take to the air in either an R22 or R44 helicopter for a half hour or full hour flight. You’ll even have the chance to take the controls yourself during your flight!

You can purchase your discovery flight anytime. When you’re ready to fly, give us a call and we’ll schedule your flight time!
