A Discovery Flight offers an unforgettable introduction for future aviators, hobbyists, or anyone craving a thrilling new experience — all for just $250, including 0.5 hours of flight time.
At Aspen Flight Academy, we’re dedicated to ensuring your introduction to aviation is a welcoming and enjoyable experience. Please let us know if there’s anything we can do to help your Discovery Flight be more comfortable!
You won’t be able to stand up and stretch your legs in our small aircraft, but you’ll have a front-row seat to the best view. Like modern commercial aircraft, however, all of our aircraft have primary safety features including seat belts.
Following a preflight inspection to ensure airworthiness, how much you participate in flying the airplane is up to you! If you’d like to learn by watching, you’re welcome to, but often students participate to some degree in the takeoff, climb and cruise portions of flight!
Though our flights are quite scenic, we do not offer “scenic flights.” All our discovery flights are “promotional flight training flights” per federal requirements.
