Scheduling & Availability

Weekends fill up fast, sometimes over a month out during busy seasons. Weekdays have higher availability, though it frequently still requires over 1 week of lead time to schedule. Please note that same-day or next-day scheduling is not available.

Passenger Policy

A passenger is not guaranteed. To bring a passenger, you must first confirm with your instructor. They will perform safety calculations directly before the flight. Once approved, you can pay the $30 passenger fee at the front desk.

Weather & Rescheduling

In the event of adverse weather, plane maintenance, or airspace restrictions on the day of your flight, we will call you at least 1 hour before your scheduled time to reschedule. Rescheduling is not uncommon, and the same lead times apply as for initial scheduling. Please consider this before booking, especially if you are traveling from out of town.

Fine Print
