Discovery Flight in New Jersey

Take a Discovery Flight, this flight will give you the insight of what a pilot really does before they venture out into the air. On this Discovery Flight I will walk you through the steps to create a safe and uneventful flight, from obtaining a weather briefing, preflighting the aircraft, starting the engine, setting up the radios and equipment, to taxiing, and you will be at the controls during a normal takeoff out of Atlantic City International Airport. Once we are in the air, I will make it my job to make you feel comfortable as can be. Our flight will consist of you at the controls for some shallow turns, and a great birds eye view of Mother earth below us. After a short flight, we will return and land at our departure airport. Hopefully, this flight will change your life and you will want to begin training to become a private pilot.

"I came to Lou to help work towards becoming a Private Pilot. Lou was extremely good at identifying where I needed work and guiding me to a solution. He also went the extra mile to explain how I could do a better job demonstrating skills that I have learned so that I can ultimately exceed the expectations of an FAA Examiner. I will would recommend Lou to anyone who wants to take the next step in their pursuit of aviation". - Liam Oliver 6/16/14

I just wanted to say that it was great to fly with William Kovach on July 23. 2014. His daughter Tracy and son-in-law Jack purchased him an Aerial Skyventures Gift Certificate for a Discovery Flight. Bill great job today, I was very impressed - Lou DiVentura

"Lou is a great instructor. His love of flying is evident through his thorough and patient teaching. While he is quite serious about creating safe and efficient pilots, Lou also makes this a fun and memorable experience. If you are thinking about taking a lesson please do yourself a favor and take a lesson with Lou".- Rich Merrell 9/27/14

"Lou I found the Skyventure a completely enjoyable experience. Not only was it very informative, but it also gave me a different perspective on what really goes into the process of flying. Not as easy as I thought. LOL I think anyone who is looking for a fun day out, or even taking up flying as a serious endeavor should treat themselves to the aerial tour".

"Lou, thank you so much for the video--we love it! We are definitely sharing with family and friends. Nick really enjoyed his time in the air with you. Thanks, again for everything!" Deb & Bob Avicolli 4/18/15

"I had a great time on my Discovery Flight with Lou. While it was NOT a flight lesson, it gave me the feel, and enough information and experience, to help me decide to go on with actual flight lessons. Lou was very conscientious and thorough. Our "Ground School" gave me the pre-flight information I needed to understand what we were about to do when we got in the plane and the pre-flight information that is needed. Once up, his tutelage was gentle, but firm, and I had a great time flying the plane a bit on my own. Helped me realize there is a lot more to it than driving a car, but it is doable."

Thanks, Lou! Had a great time! 5/2/15

"Wow!! What a great experience . If you are thinking of flying -- this the perfect start" - Regina Long 7/7/15

"Discovery Flight customer Mike Foster totally enjoyed his Discovery Flight so much that he has decided to train with me to obtain his Private Pilots License"- 9/4/15

Hey Lou,

Thank you for the lovely email!

It was truly wonderful flying with you. I’ve wanted to learn to fly since I was twelve years old so our trip up was very fulfilling. I appreciate all of the time you spent both on the ground and in the air answering my five hundred questions. I felt totally safe and knowledgeable of what was going on with the plane at all times which made the experience that much better! Thank you!!!! - Jessica Hans 4/27/16
