Introductory flights only $90-$120: call (509) 762-1016 to book.

Experience the thrill and freedom of flying… take an introductory flight with a dedicated, certificated flight instructor (CFI). The instructor will begin the flight with ground training and will outline the requirements for obtaining a Private Pilot Certificate. Then, the CFI will perform a preflight inspection of the aircraft, answering questions as they occur. Once the aircraft inspection is complete, you and the instructor will begin the 20-30 minute flight over the Columbia Basin. You, the student, will take the controls to get a feel for the airplane before returning back to the airport. The CFI will guide you through the landing and taxiing process. Afterwards, the instructor will answer additional questions.
