Two people getting comfortable inside a training aircraft cockpit.

Your first hour in aviation

Request a discovery flight

You’ve looked up long enough. Meet an instructor, step inside a training aircraft and experience a new perspective on North Texas. No flying experience needed.

Your next step

Let’s plan your first flight.

The $300 discovery flight includes one hour at the controls, a T-shirt and logbook. Payment is due when you reserve, before the flight. Ask about what to bring and weather arrangements. A request is not a confirmed booking.

01 / Meet your instructor

Start with your questions. Talk about what brought you here, what you’re curious about and how comfortable you feel. This is an introduction, not a test.

02 / Get to know the aircraft

Discover the controls and the thinking behind a preflight. Your instructor explains what to expect, with weather and operational conditions guiding the flight.

03 / See what comes next

After landing, ask about training, schedules and the path that fits your goals. There is no need to choose a whole career before experiencing one flight.

Before you arrive

Ask the school about age and guest requirements, what to bring, arrival instructions and rescheduling. A request is not a confirmed booking.
