Mesquite Aviation: Frequently Asked Questions 

I want to learn to fly... where do I begin?

The FAA has created a multi-tiered certification process for pilots. Everyone starts out by obtaining a Private (or Recreational) Pilot Certificate. We recommend scheduling a Discovery Flight as the initial step in this process. This gives you a chance to see what flying is all about by actually flying an airplane.

When you meet your instructor, he will show you around the airport and our facility. You will help perform a pre-flight inspection of the airplane and your instructor will answer any questions you may have. Your flight will last approximately one hour.

Discovery flights usually last anywhere from 30 - 45 minutes at $125/hr for the C150 (two seater) and $150/hr for the C172 (four seater).
