Start with a Discovery Flight

Are you interested in learning to fly? Take your first flight – also known as a demo or Discovery flight –  and you officially start your journey to becoming a pilot! Your Discovery flight takes you and a certified flight instructor on an approximately 30 to 60 minute-long flight to familiarize you with the airplane, the airport and the general awe of taking the controls of an aircraft for the first time!

After your Discovery flight, your instructor can answer your questions about the flight training process and how Executive Flight Institute can help you earn your pilot’s license. Should you choose to begin flight instruction, your flight time from the Discovery flight can be counted toward the FAA requirements for your license!

We offer two Discovery Flight options:

30 minute Discovery Flight:  Be introduced to the world of aviation with a 30 minute local flight around the valley in a Cessna 172. This is a great way to “get your feet wet” and experience first hand what it’s like to fly a small aircraft.  $89

60 minute Discovery Flight:  Enjoy a 60-minute local flight lesson in a Cessna 172 aircraft. You will sit in the pilot’s seat as your instructor teaches you to control the aircraft in climbs, turns and descents while you enjoy the unique thrill of piloting an airplane.  $150

Please note: You may take up to two additional people with you on your Discovery flight at no additional cost (weight restrictions may apply).  All flights are subject to rescheduling due to unforeseen circumstances, such as bad weather and maintenance.

Discovery flights make great gifts for birthdays, holidays and special occasions! Gift certificates are available. Call us at (951) 304-9639 and start your journey into the exciting world of aviation!
