Our company policy requires all students be at least 15 years old at the time of their first flight (this does include discovery flights). However, this is not a federal regulation. The FAA requires all students be 16 years old to solo and 17 to get their private license, but there is no minimum age to start training.

Upon calling our front desk, we will first begin with setting you up an account on Flight Schedule Pro. Please verify whether you want a fight in an airplane or a helicopter, as the corresponding prices for each are different. We will then look for a possible date (if you intend on booking it at the time of purchase) and take payment information. Each flight requires a full non-refundable deposit at the time of booking. The money will remain on the account until the flight is conducted. Unless you buy additional merchandise, you won’t be responsible for any purchases when you come in.

Yes! Flight Schedule Pro allows you to pay for the flight and keep the money on your account. You or the recipient of the flight can call us, and we can take care of scheduling it. The flight must be conducted within a year of purchasing it.

Yes. When you purchase your flight, you can request a printed or emailed gift certificate at no additional cost to you.

For airplane, we offer discovery flights in our Cessna 152, Cessna 172, Piper Archer, and Sting S4 aircraft. For helicopter, we offer flights in the Robinson R22 and R44.

Just bring yourself! Please make sure you dress for the weather, especially in the winter. When you come in, we will take care of a little bit of paperwork and then send you off with your instructor. You will go through a preflight, and then start-up and takeoff. Once you’re in the air, your instructor will generally take you over towards Harpers Ferry, WV or Westminster, MD. Depending on your level of comfort, the instructor will let you manipulate the controls a little bit and get a feel for your aircraft.

Unfortunately, no. Discovery flights are considered training flights, therefore no passengers are allowed due to FAA regulation.

Yes! You will likely get around 0.4 to 0.6 hours of flight time and may add it to your logbook. If you do not have a logbook, you are more than welcome to purchase one in our in-store shop and have your instructor sign it. If you are considering continuing your flying journey, we highly recommend you log this flight. Every bit counts!

We are so glad you enjoyed your flight! From there, it is super easy to continue booking lessons. You already have a Flight Schedule Pro account, which is how you will schedule flights in the future. You may request access to the schedule by asking the front desk staff. We can take care of scheduling your next flight before you leave, or you may call us back at your own convenience. No deposit is required for regularly scheduled lessons.
