Curious about what it takes to become a pilot? At Vegas Aviation, our Discovery Flight program is the perfect starting point for anyone considering a future in aviation.


WHAT IS A DISCOVERY FLIGHT?
A Discovery Flight is an aviation experience where YOU actually get to take the controls and fly the airplane under the safety and guidance of our expert Certified Flight Instructor (CFI), followed by a post-flight summary briefing. Your flight time actually counts toward private pilot requirements and can be entered in your Pilot Log Book!

Before the flight I was nervous, anxious, scared, intimidated and I felt some other emotions that I will not explain here; but I was going to have this experience anyway. My flight instructor was Flore’ and she was amazing, it’s been a month since my flight and I can not stop thinking about her and how cool she was. Flore’ explained everything to me and answer all of my questions, I felt really comfortable with her and that was probably due to her confidence. I would encourage everyone to do a discovery flight with Vegas Aviation, it was the best bday gift I have ever given myself. This experience changed my life so much that I am now in pursuit of a career in aviation. They get my recommendation, two thumbs up, 5 stars, 10stars, and they get two snaps and around the world 😉.

I have always wanted to learn how to fly but there was always something that got in the way. Earlier this year I decided to commit and finally make this... read more dream happen! I’ve researched a lot of the Aviation schools in Las Vegas and finally decided to give Vegas Aviation a try. They have a really nice fleet of C172’s, excellent rates, and very personable and knowledgeable CFIs. Many would say the same about their school of choice, however last night Vegas Aviation went above and beyond to help me and a friend out and now will forever have my support and business. Backstory: Aviation is tough! And sometimes we get stuck doing the same things over and over again. To break the cycle, I’ve been taking flight lessons at all the different places I visit. One of those places was SF. I met a really amazing CFI there and have become great friends! She was finally visiting me in my hometown, and I wanted to reciprocate her kindness and generosity by checking off a bucket list item (Night flight over Las Vegas). We scheduled a flight in advance, however due to some scheduling conflicts it looked like we weren’t going to get to go anymore 😞… I asked my old Vegas Aviation CFI, Ngaio if he knew anybody that could take us up last minute. He worked on a solution for us all night and the very next day .…. BOOM! A few hours later we were flying above the Vegas strip with the owner of Vegas Aviation! As a business owner myself, I have SO MUCH respect for Business owners who are willing to go above and beyond.The fact that Ngaio has this relationship with the owner, Louis speaks volumes! Louis was very personable and you could tell that he LOVES aviation! He was happy to be there and he took us on an amazing flight and shared extensive knowledge. Honestly, i feel like I’ve made a life long friend! Louis and Ngaio, THANK YOU so much for making this an unforgettable experience. Vegas Aviation will be my GO TO school and top recommendation for all my certificates and airplane maintenance needs! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

That shut down the airport for 12 hours, but wow, what a first experience that we got to see firsthand as we were second in line for takeoff when it happened.

Today's flight was about 45 minutes and it was absolutely beautiful. My son had the controls for half the time, including for takeoff and landing. Dorian was cool as a cucumber and made my son feel very safe and gave absolutely incredible instruction! If you're looking for a flight school, I would not look anywhere else!
