Discovery flights + More over Paso Robles

We offer discovery flights over Paso Robles that include 4K video and pictures, certificate presentation, and sparkling toast.  We also offer continuing flight training toward pilot certificates.

Discovery flight experiences start at 30 minutes, which includes pre-flight inspection and briefing, hands-on flight to over a mile high (weather permitting), the post-flight certificate presentation and sparkling toast.  We also offer an add-on additional 30 minutes option, Soar High, which is a one-hour experience that includes flight to a maximum of 14,000 feet and views of the Pacific Ocean, as well as a full 30 minutes of peaceful gliding.

All flying is scenic; this is much more! It is an interactive flight lesson that introduces the basics of flight. You will have the opportunity to pilot the aircraft and feel the sensations that accompany the flight controls.  Afterward, you will receive an official log entry that qualifies as training time toward an FAA pilot license.  

Air travel is the safest mode of transportation, statistically.  Our aircraft, made by Pipistrel, is the safest small aircraft available.  Its cockpit is reinforced with Kevlar, the same material in bulletproof vests.  Its wings are so efficient that it is equipped with "air brakes" to be able to get back down to Earth!  As a glider, its engine is designed to be turned off and its propeller folded, so that it can peacefully sail with the winds.  It is even equipped with a full-aircraft ballistic parachute as a backup safety feature!

All fixed-wing aircraft can experience turbulence, from small ultralights to the largest airliners.  We fly in the late morning and early afternoon to avoid most turbulence from mid-afternoon thermals.  Our experience and advanced software allows us to provide a flight that is usually very smooth and is always highly enjoyable!

We are open daily from 10am to 3:00pm for discovery flights and this season runs from April 15th and to November 1st.  We  also offer continuing training toward pilot certificates year-round and on a full-time basis.  

No, as long as mature enough to fly safely. We've had has young as three, but several more years are usually recommended.
