You are introduced to the training aircraft and shown how the controls affect the aircraft both in flight and on the ground. The flight will be in the local area of the airport. In order to log any of the flight time you will need to present either a US Birth Certificate or a Current US Passport. The cost for the one hour discovery flight is $150.00.
