from flight school to professional aviation

The true measure of a flight training program is what its graduates go on to accomplish.

At Discovery Flight School, we're proud of the pilots who have completed our programs and taken the next steps in their aviation careers. Their experiences offer valuable insight into our training philosophy, the challenges they've overcome, and the opportunities they've pursued.

Hear directly from former students about their experience at Discovery Flight School, what they learned along the way, and where their aviation careers have taken them.

  • "The experience I gained through Discovery Flight School’s Transition Program is hard to put a price on. Getting to ride in the right seat on actual Part 135 charter flights and learn directly from experienced captains was invaluable . . . Watching how they planned, managed, and executed real charter missions from start to finish taught me more than I could have learned through traditional flight training alone. The mentorship, real-world exposure, and professional insight I gained were worth every penny. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity and would highly recommend the program to any pilot serious about entering professional aviation."

  • "Discovery flight school is a great and professional company. They were able to get me the experience I needed to transition into a 135 role flying as Second-in-Command on a citation jet. They have great professional partners and know the industry well. Discovery Flight School is a great place and I am glad I trusted in them with my training."

    – Mitchell

  • "My most memorable flight was probably my first flight as a 135 PIC. It was so rewarding to get through all the training and finally carry my first paying passenger. The charter world is a great opportunity in aviation. You are the Pilot, Customer Service Rep, Baggage Handler, and Load Master."
