Repeat Demo Flights: FAA Regulations
Per FAA regulations, this flight experience is designed as a one-time introductory demo. If you have already completed an introductory or demo flight with us, the FAA considers any additional flights to be part of formal flight training, which requires the following:
- U.S. Citizens must bring proof of citizenship (either a valid U.S. passport or an original birth certificate and a government-issued photo ID). Flights cannot proceed without this documentation at the time of the appointment.
- Non-U.S. Citizens must undergo a TSA background check and receive approval before any repeat training or demo flight can take place. Please contact us before booking so we can assist with the TSA clearance process.
