Your first flight lesson is one hour, real controls, real aircraft. No experience needed. No commitment required. Just you, the sky, and a CFI beside you.
No hidden fees. No gear to buy. Show up ready to fly — we handle the rest.
Your CFI walks you through the aircraft, controls, and what to expect — so you feel confident before you ever leave the ground.
You take the controls — for real. Straight and level flight, gentle turns, the works. Your instructor is right beside you the whole time.
Train in our 1967 Piper Cherokee PA28-180 — 180HP, dual G5s, Garmin GNS530W GPS, fully maintained and IFR rated.
Your CFI breaks down what you did well, answers all your questions, and maps out exactly what your path to a PPL looks like.
This is your chance to experience flying before committing to training. No pressure, no sales pitch — just an honest conversation about next steps.
Every session at R&A starts with safety. Our curriculum is structured, our standards are professional-grade, and your safety is always the priority.
I had zero flight experience. After my discovery flight with R&A, I was hooked. Three weeks later I passed my checkride on the first try. The structured syllabus made all the difference.
I tried two other flight schools before R&A. Nobody else came close to this level of professionalism. The Cherokee is immaculate, the instruction is clear, and they actually care if you succeed.
Came in for a discovery flight on a Saturday, signed up for accelerated training on Monday. The pay-as-you-go option made it easy to start without overcommitting. Best decision I've made.
