Discovery Flight For One Gift Card
Somebody else's first logged hour, paid for in advance
Three denominations, and each one maps to a real booking rather than to a balance. $229 is the sixty-minute lesson, $299 the ninety, and $399 the two-hour flight.
| Denominations | $229 · $299 · $399 |
| What each one covers | The 60, 90 and 120-minute single-seat discovery flights |
| Aircraft | A single-engine trainer from the fleet |
| What the recipient gets | Dual instruction received, logged in their name |
| Counts toward | The 40 hours of flight time in 14 CFR 61.109 |
| Scheduling | Theirs to arrange, on a date we confirm |
| Published weight limit | 180 lb |
Choosing the denomination
Pick $229 if the person receiving this has never flown a light aircraft and you want them to find out whether they like it. Sixty minutes answers that question completely.
Pick $399 if they have already decided they are interested. Two hours holds a full airwork block and a navigation leg, and it is a lesson rather than an introduction. The middle denomination sits where you would expect it to.
What makes this different from a voucher
The hour is logged. An instructor signs it into a logbook in the recipient's name with their certificate number against it, and the time counts toward a certificate if they carry on. A sightseeing ride does not do that.
Should they sign up for a program inside 24 hours of landing, the whole value of the flight is deducted from what the program costs.
The practical notes
There is a published weight limit of 180 lb for this flight and it is a performance limit rather than a preference. Worth checking before you buy rather than after.
The useful gift here is the logbook entry, not the flight.
What the recipient is walking into
- Six types, all owned here, all maintained here. When an airplane is due for the 100-hour inspection that 14 CFR 91.409(b) demands of a trainer, it comes off the line and gets one.
- Instructing staff: eleven. Credentials, without exception: a flight instructor certificate, a commercial certificate or an ATP behind it, and a medical in date.
- One simulator, and it is a good one: an FAA-approved Redbird MCX, enclosed cockpit, motion base. Booked on its own it costs $189.
- Weather costs a full-time student roughly ten days a year here. NOAA ASOS records put 355 days above 3,000 ft and 5 sm in the twelve months ending 1 August 2026.
- Every program price is printed on this store. There are no ranges, no block-rate discounts and no number you have to ask for.
