Discovery Flight · first light at KVGT

Your Discovery Flight. You fly the plane.

A real first lesson, not a sightseeing tour. A proper brief on the ground, then the left seat of the Cherokee PA-28-140B over the Las Vegas area, with your instructor beside you the whole way.

Everyone’s nervous.

The first-timer in the parking lot right now is nervous. The airline captain was nervous on her first lesson too.

Your instructor’s hands are on the controls with yours — they never leave.

Nervous means you’re paying attention. Good. Pilots pay attention.

Before you fly

What to expect

Your Discovery Flight, step by step

  1. 01

    Before you fly

    You meet your instructor and spend about 30 minutes on how the Cherokee flies, what you will do at the controls, and the route for the day. Then it is out to the ramp at North Las Vegas Airport for the preflight walk-around, with you following along.

  2. 02

    In the air

    After a briefed takeoff from a towered field, you take the controls: climbs, turns and straight-and-level flight, with your instructor guiding you and ready on the dual controls. Expect an hour to an hour and a half aloft over the valley and the practice area.

  3. 03

    Back on the ramp

    You log the flight toward your total hours, and your instructor debriefs what you did well and what would come next. There is no pitch. If you decide to keep going, what you paid comes back as a credit on your account after your first 10 flight hours.

Good to know

A real introduction, not a joyride

A Discovery Flight is designed to help you experience the aircraft, the instructor, and the training environment before committing to a larger plan. If you decide flying is for you, it’s also how you judge us: the airplane, the instructor, and whether our approach fits how you want to learn.
