Experience flying firsthand with a discovery flight at Parrillo Air Services. You'll take the controls of a Cessna 172 with a certified flight instructor beside you — no experience required.
Your $199 discovery flight is a complete first flight lesson — not just a sightseeing ride.
Your instructor walks you through the aircraft, preflight inspection, and what to expect before you fly — then reviews the lesson afterward.
Fly over Lynchburg and the Blue Ridge foothills in the most trusted training airplane in the world.
Once airborne, your instructor hands you the yoke. You'll fly straight and level and try gentle turns.
Your flight counts toward your FAA training hours, so it's never wasted time if you decide to continue.
Most students continue straight into private pilot training after their discovery flight. Here's where to go next.
