Explore the wonder of flight.
You’re playing a game of soccer or a round of golf—maybe you’re just walking down the street. But as soon as you hear that distinct faint roar above, you can’t help but look to the sky. Locating the craft on its trajectory, awe and wonder captivate your mind and heart…and your own imagination takes flight.
If this scenario strikes a chord, then you were made to fly. Whether you’re considering aviation as a career or a hobby, CFCA’s Discovery Flight introduces you to the pilot experience. More than a simple ride-along, a Discovery Flight is a hands-on flight lesson with one of our experienced instructors where you’ll take part in flight preparation, learn about navigation and air traffic control, and participate in the art and science of piloting.
What to expect
Cost: $265 for the Cessna 172 or $300 for the Cirrus SR20
