Flight Adventures offers Discovery training flights for both non-pilots and pilots by appointment only. Instructors are experienced professional pilots and FAA certified flight instructors with thousands of hours of flying experience. Please fill out our contact form to begin the process of scheduling your open cockpit biplane Discovery training flight or to set up an amazing gift for a friend or family member.
The Stearman biplane has two seats, so only one person can fly with our instructor at a time. You will take the controls under the guidance of our certified flight instructor and experience what initial flight training was like for our WWII aviators while enjoying the sites and sensations of an open cockpit biplane.
Those new to flying will learn the four fundamentals of flying (straight and level, turns, climbs and descents) just as our WWII aviators learned during their initial training. Additional maneuvers can be briefed and introduced based on customer experience and preferences. Pilots will receive a Stearman familiarization training flight and/or introduction to tailwheel flying.
Training flights are conducted in Jacksonville and St. Augustine and tailored to customer preferences and experience. No flying experience necessary! A logbook endorsement can be provided by your instructor to document the experience.
