Take your first steps toward making your dream of flight a reality! Our on-line Discovery Course will equip you with the introductory orientation, theory and information needed to smoothly launch you to the next stage of our training program.

See the contents of this course here.  You can enroll from either link.  This course is meant to educate and streamline the process of bringing new students into our process as it automates much of the information needed to cover before any flying happens.  Actual flying starts in our stage-two, Beginner Course but this is a mandatory first-step. 

If you end up progressing to our third-stage Full Certification Course in this calendar year, the fee for this Discovery Course is credited towards that course.

When you buy directly from here, an account is created for you on the Instinct Academy site but may require you to reset your password when you go to the Academy site.  This will likely unsync the password you may use on this site for future online purchases.  Our apologies!
