Discovery Flight
Definition
An introductory flight lesson for someone who has never flown before. Typically 30-60 minutes, offered at a fixed price, and designed to give the prospective student a taste of flying.
Why It Matters
Discovery flights are a flight school's primary lead generation tool. They require special scheduling considerations: fixed pricing (not hourly), no checkout requirement, and a follow-up workflow to convert the prospect into an enrolled student.
