discovery flight (sometimes called an introductory flight or intro flight) is a short, beginner-level flight experience designed to introduce people to flying. It’s often the first step for someone interested in learning how to fly or exploring aviation as a hobby or career.

What Happens During a Discovery Flight:

  1. Pre-Flight Briefing:
    • A Hewison Aviation instructor explains the basics of the aircraft, controls, and what to expect during the flight.
    • A safety overview is given, including how to use seatbelts, headsets, and emergency procedures.
  2. Hands-On Experience:
    • While one of our Hewison Aviation certified flight instructor (CFI) handles takeoff and landing, you may be allowed to take the controls during the flight under the instructor’s supervision.
    • You’ll get a feel for how the aircraft responds and learn some basic maneuvers.
  3. A Scenic Tour:
    • Hewison Aviation discovery flights include scenic routes, allowing you to enjoy stunning views from the cockpit while experiencing the thrill of flying.
  4. Post-Flight Discussion:
    • After landing, your Hewison Aviation instructor reviews the flight, answers questions, and explains the next steps if you’re interested in pursuing flight training.
