What to Expect
The Aircraft
Discovery Flights are typically conducted using a Piper PA-28 Cherokee Warrior II or a Cessna 172 from our fleet of eleven aircraft; these models are selected for their stability, well-maintained status, and ease of operation for students, and they are equipped with IFR-capable GPS units to assist in your training planning.
Van Nuys Airport (KVNY)
Van Nuys, California
One of the busiest general aviation airports in the world — great exposure to real-world aviation traffic and radio communication.
