Your First Flight Awaits

The perfect first step into General Aviation: you’ll sit in the pilot’s seat — yes, the left seat — and be at the controls most of the time.

The Experience

What Is an Introductory Flight?

An Introductory Flight is a local flight with one of our instructors in which you get to know the airplane and the flight training environment, often for the first time. Under the guidance of our qualified instructors, you will be in the pilot’s seat of one of our aircraft and at the controls most of the time.

After a pre-flight briefing, your flight lasts approximately 45 minutes (about 30 minutes flying time). Your instructor will gently introduce you to the flight controls and let you experience the fundamental maneuvers: climbs, straight-and-level flight, turns, and descents.

This is a real flight lesson — it counts toward your training if you decide to continue!

  • No paperwork or experience required
  • Bring a friend (subject to aircraft availability) and take all the pictures you want
  • Longer flights available — prices pro-rated to actual duration
  • Gift certificates available for special occasions

Step by Step

How Your Intro Flight Works

1

Book It

Call 979-260-6322 (9 AM–5 PM, every day) or book online. We’ll coordinate date, time, aircraft, and instructor.

2

Pre-Flight Briefing

Meet your instructor, walk around the airplane, and learn what you’ll be doing in the air.

3

You Fly

Take the controls for climbs, turns, and straight-and-level flight over the beautiful Brazos Valley.

4

It Counts

Log the time! Your intro flight counts as your first lesson if you continue training.

Good to know: We’ll ask for your approximate weight (and your guest’s) for aircraft weight & balance, plus a phone number so we can reach you if weather forces a change of plans. We recommend thinking ahead about alternative dates for a (literal) rain check.

An introductory flight is also a great gift for a significant other or family member — young aspiring aviators, the young-at-heart, and insatiable learners alike. Ask about gift certificates!
