Ready to see if you’ve got the pilot bug? Take a Discovery Flight, fly with a certified instructor, and feel what real control is like. No commitment, just a first taste of the skies.
A Discovery Flight allows anyone to go up in an airplane and get exposure to what it's like in the cockpit and flying around. You are given the controls, with the safety of an instructor, and you can perform maneuvers that you'll encounter in training, fly over your house and favorite places in the city, or just get comfortable manipulating the controls of an airplane.
Cost: $200.00 USD
Includes: 1hr of Flight Time w/ Instructor
Exposure to what it's like to be a pilot
Safety of highly trained and experienced flight instructor
Additional flight time can be added upon request
Answers to commonly asked questions for discovery flights with Buck’s Flight Academy.
Yes, definitely!
Your instructor verbally guides you through basic controls, turns, climbs, and descents from the right seat. You sit in the left seat as any other pilot would normally and fly the plane for the majority of the time!
Very much so, especially with a certified instructor (CFI) beside you, it's a safe way to experience flying.
You'll spend about 30 mins getting familiar with the airplane on the ground.
Then you hop inside and take to the skies for 1 hour with your flight instructor.
So in total, it's about an hour and a half. You can request a longer duration if requested in advance.
Absolutely! The time counts towards your required FAA flight hours if you decide to continue training. More information on that can be found in the Private Pilot section in the Programs tab in the navigation bar above.
