Your first step into aviation is simple. The best way to begin is to understand what training path fits your goals, and the perfect way to do that is with a hands-on experience. At Dayton Aviation Services, we believe that journey starts with a Discovery Flight.

What is a Discovery Flight?

Think of a Discovery Flight as more than just a scenic tour, it’s your very first flight lesson! The time you spend in the air is logged and counts directly toward your Pilot Certificate. It’s a win-win: you get to experience the thrill of flying while taking a tangible step toward your goal.

What to Expect on Your Flight

We want to make your first experience memorable and informative. Here’s what you can expect when you schedule a flight school training in Dayton, OH with us:

• Meet the Team: We’ll reserve a block of time with an instructor, giving you a chance to look around the schoolhouse and meet our team.
• Pre-Flight Introduction: Your flight starts on the ground with an introduction to the airplane and a pre-flight walkaround.
• Guided by an Expert: Your Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) will guide you through all the checklists, procedures, engine start-up, and run-up. Don’t worry about the radios, we’ll handle the communications.
• You’re at the Controls: Once in the air, you’ll be at the controls for a breathtaking 30-40 minute flight. You’ll practice basic maneuvers like climbs, descents, and turns. You can even ask to fly over your house!
• Debrief and Next Steps: After you land, you’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions and, if you’re ready, sign up for your next lesson.

The Perfect Gift for Any Occasion
