Discovery Flight FAQs
Can I purchase a Discovery Flight as a gift?
Yes! Discovery Flights make an unforgettable gift for birthdays, holidays, or anyone who has dreamed of becoming a pilot. You’ll receive an email confirmation after purchase that can be printed or forwarded to the recipient.
How do I schedule my Discovery Flight after purchase?
Once you complete your order, you’ll receive an email confirmation with next steps. From there, simply contact our team to schedule your preferred date and time.
What happens if weather cancels my flight?
Safety always comes first. If weather conditions prevent your flight from taking place, you’ll be able to reschedule at no additional cost.
What types of aircraft are available for Discovery Flights?
Aspire offers Discovery Flights in the Piper Archer TX as well as the Cirrus SR20 and SR22—all equipped with advanced glass cockpits. For a lower-cost option, you can also choose a Simulator Discovery Flight in our immersive training device.
What happens during the flight experience?
Plan on spending about half your time on the ground and half in the air. Before engine start, your instructor will guide you through a pre-flight briefing, basic ground school concepts, and an introduction to the aircraft. Then you’ll take the controls for a hands-on flying experience.
Is there a refund policy?
Discovery Flights are non-refundable. If you’re unable to make your scheduled flight, our team will be happy to help you reschedule.
Do I need any prior flying experience?
Not at all. Discovery Flights are designed for beginners and aviation enthusiasts who want to experience what it feels like to be in the pilot’s seat for the first time.
