Additionally, our 24/7 availability allows you the flexibility needed to accomplish your goals.
Introductory Flight
The intro flight is the best ways to get a taste of what flying is all about. This 2-hr session includes a 30 minute ground class to discuss what you’re going to do in the plane. From there it’s out to the flight line where your certified flight instructor will help guide you as you take the controls on your first ever takeoff. With approximately one hour of flight time you will gain a sense of why so many before you have passionately pursued aviation, whether as a career or as a hobby.
- 30 minutes in a classroom.
- One hour flight in a Cessna 172.
- Free Logbook with sign off commemorating your first flight at the controls.
For you or your loved ones, the best gift for the holidays is an intro flight. Contact us now to make a reservation or get a gift certificate.

CARBON ZERO
We are the first Flight School that takes care of the planet
We are able to offer to our students: first class training, with all the excitement and freedom of flying, with a clean conscience. That is always the best pillow. All our training programs are Carbon Zero, making us the first flight school that is truly and fully sustainable for the Planet.
“Dirt washes off easier, than blood”.
Maj. Patrick G. G. Peralta
Our Founding Father
Calculation:
A pilot needs 250 flight hours to apply for a commercial license, a Cessna 172 (training aircraft) uses 8 gallons of gas per hour, each gallon produces 18.32 pounds of CO2 or 36,640 pounds of CO2 total. An adult tree captures 48 pounds of CO2 a year.
763 trees a year are needed to produce a Carbon ZERO commercial pilot.
(Calculations are for a commercial pilot license, we offer more aviation programs, all of them Carbon Zero).

We own over 50,000 trees in Amazonian jungles. Located between Ecuador and Panamá (planet’s pictures), sadly only 29,000 trees could be considered adults (we don’t want to sell the sun, to buy a candle).
