At Tailwind we take the traditional "discovery" or "introductory" fight to a whole new level. We offer four basic configurations, but we can also customize a flight experience to suit your needs.

Introductory Discovery Flight

This flight is only $99.00 and is an intro flight for those considering flight instruction or just wanting to learn a little more about flying. These flights are short in duration, but allow the prospective aviator to experience a flight lesson. Each lesson starts with about 30 minutes of pre-flight ground instruction and then the student will spend about 30 minutes flying the airplane with the instructor. The lesson concludes with about a 15 minute post flight review.

Intermediate Discovery Flight

This flight expands the Introductory Discovery Flight for a more in-depth look into the world of Aviation. Students will plan their own flight experience. Start your flight with 45 minutes of ground instruction and flight planning, then fly either a 45 minute flight plan or a 1 hour flight plan and finish your flight with a flight review and some post-flight discussion. This flight will give the student an intermediate look into aviation and the necessary training to achieve a pilot's license. This intermediate discovery flight costs $189.00 for the 45 minute flight, and $219.00 for the 1 hour flight. Students may bring up to two passengers with them on their flight. The new pilots are given a logbook, certificate of completion, and a Tailwind t-shirt upon completing their experience.
