Preflight on the apronIt adds up one hour at a time.
A Discovery Flight is $149; training beyond that is quoted for your goals, and how often you fly is the biggest cost factor.
Common first questions
The questions every first-time student asks before they book.
01 Do I need any previous experience to start?
No. Most students start with no flying experience at all. Your first lesson is a $149 Discovery Flight, and your instructor walks you through everything from the preflight on.
02 What is a Discovery Flight?
A Discovery Flight is your first real flight lesson. You take the controls with a Certified Flight Instructor beside you the whole time, it costs $149, and there is nothing to commit to afterwards.
03 Is it safe?
Yes — safe flying is the first thing Ozark Aero teaches. You fly classic, well-maintained training aircraft with dual controls, and your instructor can take over at any moment.
04 How much does it cost to earn a Private Pilot License?
Ozark Aero quotes it for your goals rather than printing one number, because how often you fly is the biggest cost factor. Start with a $149 Discovery Flight, or call 254-316-0950 for current rates and an estimate.
05 How do I get started?
Call 254-316-0950 or send us a message, and we’ll talk through your goals. Most people start with a $149 Discovery Flight.
Morning — the airplane is fueled and on the ramp. Winds are calm. See you at 9:00. — Chris
