What is a Discovery Flight?

The discovery flight is often called an introductory flight—and is exactly what it sounds like. A discovery flight allows a person who's never flown in a small airplane to pilot an aircraft for the first time, along with a certified flight instructor (CFI). Discovery flights are an excellent opportunity for future pilots to get in the air and discover what it takes to earn a private pilot's license.

Safe Flight offers a one and two-hour option for the discovery flight. A favorite discovery flight option is the two-hour round-trip flight to FFA (First Flight) in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. Landing at First Flight (FFA) is a bucket list item for all pilots. This is a great opportunity to see the birth of aviation and the Wright Brothers National Memorial.
