Discovery Flight

If you want to learn to fly, an introductory “Discovery Flight” is a flight lesson especially developed to give you the chance to decide if flying is for you. Our “Discovery Flights” offer an ideal opportunity to experience what flying is all about! Because you will be flying with a Certificated Flight Instructor (CFI) your entire flight may be logged toward your future pilot’s license. You may take your Discovery Flight in one of our Cessna 152’s, Cessna 172’s, the Piper Arrow PA-28 or the twin-engine Beechcraft Duchess BE-76 (prices vary). Or, you may prefer to try out our Redbird FMX Full Motion Flight Simulator.

From your pre-flight lesson to takeoff and landing you will experience  hands on the fundamentals of flight. Your instructor will introduce you to the flight instruments, throttle, yoke and rudder pedals and how to use them to control the aircraft. With the assistance of your instructor, you will be allowed to pilot the aircraft in turns, climbs, and descents to see just what flying is all about.

Learning to fly is one of the most rewarding and enjoyable activities in which you will ever participate. When you take a discovery flight, whether you are in the aircraft or the flight simulator, you’ll be shown how to take the controls with one of Florida Aviation Academy’s top instructors to see what it’s like to fly a plane for yourself.

Whether you want to learn to fly for business, pleasure or simply something you have always wanted to do, Florida Aviation Academy is here to help you reach meet your aviation goals.
