Pilotsmith

Pilotsmith’s Discovery Flight program provides an excellent introduction to flight training, offering hands-on experience in small aircraft. Each session includes 30 minutes of ground instruction, covering safety procedures, aircraft operation, preflight inspections, and more. The flight portion varies with options for 30 minutes or 1 hour of flight time. During the flight, participants can take the controls of the aircraft, combining a demonstration with a mini-lesson. The base 30-minute or 60-minute discovery flight has a 1-year expiration period.
