This discovery flight starts with 45 minutes of ground instruction, during which instructors demonstrate how to read the plane's instruments and explain to students how to fly the plane and maneuver it when it’s on the ground. They then show students how to inspect the plane’s exterior. After completing the ground inspection, students sit in the pilot's seat, start the plane, and taxi it to the runway before taking off. The resulting 60-minute flight covers approximately 30 nautical miles, and students may soar over downtown, Lake Hartwell and Lake Greenwood, and even their house if it's close enough. Students also get to bring one ride-along passenger to share the experience.

Each flying lesson begins with 30 minutes of ground instruction covering various aspects of flying and the plane itself. Students and instructors then take to the cockpit of an aircraft and ascend to a classroom in the sky, where aspiring pilots practice maneuvering the plane for 90 minutes. Discovery flights and lessons are scheduled any day of the week between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., pending availability, and are held at Greenville Downtown Airport or Anderson Regional Airport
