Introductory Flight
If you’re interested in learning to fly, the absolute best way to get started is by joining us on an introductory flight. During the experience, one of our expert instructors will walk you through every step of pre-flight and boarding before taking you up air for a one-hour flight.
From pre-flight checks, to clearing the flight for takeoff with air traffic controllers, this experience will give you the perfect insight into everything involved with getting a plane in the air. Those who leave from our Gainesville location will take in the sites of Lake Lanier and the distant Atlanta skyline.

Your discovery flight is your first opportunity to experience flight training at Lanier Flight Center — and you get to choose the aircraft you fly in.
Choose from:
- Brand-New Pipistrel Alpha Trainer — Experience a modern, purpose-built flight training aircraft.
- New Cessna 172SP with Garmin G1000 NXi — Experience the classic Cessna 172 with a modern all-glass Garmin cockpit.

We take pride in maintaining a modern, well-kept training fleet. All of our Cessna 172 aircraft are repainted and refurbished every three years, helping provide our students with clean, comfortable, and professionally maintained aircraft throughout their training.
This one-hour flight provides a great experience for the novice pilot, as those interested will be allowed time in control of the plane once in the air. And the time spent with our top-level instructors may be applied toward flight training hours.
