Questions worth asking

A clearer view
before you begin.

Is a tour the same as a discovery flight?

No. Tell the school which experience you want, and confirm what is included and any charge before arranging the visit.

Can I bring someone?

Ask about the current guest policy and whether any guest can participate in the particular visit or flight. Do not assume a seat is available.

What if the weather changes?

Contact the school and follow its instructions. A flight may need to be rescheduled or the visit may focus on a ground conversation.

Where should I go?

ITP publishes 904 Aeronca Drive in Denton. Confirm your appointment’s actual location and arrival instructions directly, especially if discussing another airport.
