Solo Discovery Flight

Take the controls on your first discovery flight over Los Angeles with Flight School LA, departing Van Nuys Airport (KVNY). It's just you and your FAA-certified instructor for about 45–60 minutes over the coast and city — and once you're safely airborne, your CFI hands you the controls.

What's included:

• ~45–60 minutes in the air — you fly
• No experience needed — a real instructor, a real aircraft
• Modern glass-cockpit Cirrus, Diamond & Piper fleet
• 100% credited toward your pilot training if you continue
• Departs Van Nuys Airport (KVNY), Los Angeles

$229 — the best way to find out if flying is for you, and a perfect gift. You'll choose your date and time at booking; we'll confirm your slot and add it to the schedule.
