Before you book — please read
For your safety and to comply with FAA regulations and our aircraft weight & balance limits, please review the following before scheduling your discovery flight. If any of these apply to you, contact us at 631-391-9110 before booking.
Discovery flights are not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, have a heart condition, recent surgery, uncontrolled high blood pressure, seizure disorders, severe ear/sinus issues, or who have been SCUBA diving within the last 24 hours. If you have any concern about your fitness to fly, consult your physician first.
Our training aircraft can comfortably accommodate a single occupant up to 230 lbs. This keeps the airplane within its certified weight & balance envelope for the discovery flight profile.
The aircraft is limited to a maximum of three (3) total occupants: one (1) being the student taking the lesson in the front seat next to the instructor, and up to two (2) guest passengers in the back seat. Combined weight of all occupants must not exceed 400 lbs, per the aircraft weight & balance limitations. Heavier groups can be split across multiple flights — just let us know.
Final go/no-go is at the discretion of your CFI on the day of the flight based on aircraft loading, fuel, and weather conditions.
