A Discovery Flight is essentially a regular 30 or 60 minutes flight lesson under the supervision of a Certified Flight Instructor right next to you. During the flight, you will be treated just like a regular student pilot and you can actually control a Cessna 172 or PA28 training aircraft from the pilot’s seat.
You will be also involved in all the pre-flight and post-flight duties such as route planning, aircraft inspections and debriefing normally completed by pilots.
You’ll get to log the flight as you would a regular lesson, and get a chance to see how much you enjoy flying. Discovery Flight is also a good opportunity to chat with other students and flight instructors and learn more about flying as a career.
We welcome and encourage you to take a passenger along for the ride.
My son is thinking of going to college for aviation so we had him take the discovery flight at the Flying Academy. His instructor Victor was awesome! Josh in the front office was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Both Josh & Victor provided him with lots of great info about colleges and ideas for pursuing his pilots license. Highly recommend them!

Friendly and helpful staff. Facility is clean and well maintained. Veronika asked what my goals are and how best achieve them in safest, efficient, and cheapest manner. They have good selection of planes (5) and more on way. My CFI Hayden is open and very approachable. Price is competitive for people looking to get PPL. I chose this flight school for following reasons: no-tower (meaning more and quicker times in air), schedule flexibility, close proximity to home

This school has been accommodating from the first time I’ve called to now as a current private pilot. Scheduling a plane and having an AMAZING instructor has been seamless unlike so many flight schools. Additionally, planes are affordable and maintenance is literally 20 feet away from where the planes are parked. All maintained very well, and all staff are customer oriented and knowledgeable. My instructor Victor rocked and would happily give him two thumbs up and a referral.

Took a short tour flight to Big Bear and it was awesome! The staff and flight instructors were extremely kind and professional, and I always felt safe and informed. We flew over Lake Matthews on our way back and it was breathtaking! If you’re interested in aviation, Flying Academy in Corona provides an exciting personalized experience.

This school is built with integrity and has great management. I can’t speak as an employee but as a student. The management is fair and so are the prices. Friendly faces and great atmosphere.
