A Discovery Flight is an introductory flying lesson where you get to sit in the pilot’s seat of a real airplane with a Certified Flight Instructor. You’ll take the controls and experience what it’s like to fly an aircraft.

Your Discovery Flight lasts about one hour of flying time, plus pre-flight briefing and orientation with your instructor. Plan for around 90 minutes total at the airport.

Your Discovery Flight is a real lesson. You’ll receive a pilot logbook with your first flight entry signed by your instructor. If you continue flight training, this time counts toward the hours required for your pilot’s license.

Comfortable clothing, sunglasses, and closed-toe shoes are recommended. We’ll provide you with a Tulsa Flight Training T-shirt as part of the experience!

Absolutely! A Discovery Flight is a unique, unforgettable gift for birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, holidays, or anyone who has ever dreamed of flying.
