Discovery Flight

Take the controls of the world's most-flown training aircraft and find out what flying is really like — not from a passenger seat, but from the left seat with your hands on the yoke.
Your Discovery Flight at AZ begins on the ground with a preflight briefing covering aircraft systems, the day's route, and the basics of flight controls. You'll walk through a full preflight inspection alongside your AZ flight instructor before climbing into the Cessna 172 — a four-seat, single-engine aircraft trusted by flight schools, the military, and aviation universities worldwide for more than half a century.

Once airborne, your instructor will hand you the controls. You'll fly straight-and-level, turn, climb, and descend over the South Florida coastline — the Atlantic on one side, the Everglades on the other. No experience required, no prior knowledge expected. If you decide to come back, your Discovery Flight counts toward your Private Pilot training and goes in your official pilot logbook.

What's included:
Pre-flight briefing with your AZ instructor
Full preflight walkaround of the aircraft
Approximately 30–45 minutes of flight time at the controls
Post-flight debrief and first logbook entry
AZ Discovery Flight certificate
