More than a sightseeing ride
A real introduction to flight training.
A Discovery Flight is designed for someone who wants to understand what learning to fly actually feels like. Your independent CFI introduces the aircraft, walks you through the preflight, explains what will happen, and conducts an introductory flight lesson in a Bolt Aviation Cessna 172.
Depending on weather, air traffic, operational conditions, and the instructor’s judgment, you may have the opportunity to handle the controls under supervision. If the lesson legally qualifies and is properly documented, the instructor may record applicable training in your logbook.
What is included
From first question to post-flight conversation.
Preflight walk-around

Flight experience
Depart from KTMB for an introductory lesson over the Miami area, subject to conditions and instructor judgment.
Post-flight discussion
Ask questions, talk about next steps, and decide whether ongoing training is right for you.

Flight instruction may be logged when legally appropriate and properly endorsed by the independent CFI conducting the lesson.
What happens after purchase?
Bolt Aviation follows up to coordinate an available aircraft, independent CFI, date, and time. Flights are by appointment.
Can I give it as a gift?
