Cessna 172R takes piloting pupils to skies for flight instruction, with ground training in flight protocols

There are few freedoms as liberating as being able to fly, which is why humans spent millennia inventing the airplane and why penguins are so very, very bitter. Exceed evolutionary shortcomings with today’s Groupon to Above & Beyond Aviation. Choose between the following options:

  • For $54, you get a 30- to 40-minute discovery flight for two (up to a $130 value).
  • For $109, you get a 2.5-hour introductory flight lesson (a $239.20 value).<p>

Experienced instructors and their students take to the skies in Above & Beyond Aviation’s fleet for pilot-certification courses and scenic jaunts above the Austin area. Pairs climb aboard a Cessna 172R to soar over the city during a discovery flight. The session includes 1.5 hours of introductory ground instruction and 30–40 minutes in the air, during which the instructor deftly maneuvers the plane as passengers peer out at the bustling streets, verdant parks, and a lost kraken floating down the sparkling Colorado River.

Clients looking to take the helm can opt for a 2.5-hour introductory flight lesson, which begins with ground training in the fundamentals of aerodynamics, airport and flying procedures, and an overview of the flight-training process. After instructors perform a preflight check of the Cessna 172R and explain the equipment, fliers ascend into the clouds for about 70 minutes of flight time, during which students can get a feel for the controls and attempt to fit in with flocks of migrating geese.
