PREFLIGHT BRIEF
Your Discovery flight begins with a “Preflight Briefing” in the main office. Your flight instructor will explain what you will do during the flight, including what you might encounter : the route, weather, safety precautions and information regarding the aircraft. From there, you and the instructor will complete a “pre-flight inspection” of the aircraft- an inspection of the outside, inside and liquids of the aircraft .

You will fly as much as possible in the air- getting familiar with the “feel” of the airplane, including basic turns, climbs and airspeed. The airplane quite graceful in the air- it might just surprise you! Next, the instructor will land the airplane with you.
POST FLIGHT BRIEF
Upon Taxiing to the parking spot, your Instructor will complete a debrief with you: explaining what you experienced, what to improve on an what to prepare for your next flight.
