How Flight Training Works

  1. Discovery Flight (1 hour): You take the controls with a coach next to you. We show you how airplanes turn, climb, and land.
  2. Lessons + Ground School: Fly 2–3 times per week and learn weather, radios, and navigation in class or online.
  3. Checkride Day: A practical test (flight + oral). Your instructor makes sure you’re ready and calm.
