What to Expect
Your Sunset Discovery Flight Los Angeles begins in the late afternoon with a warm welcome and personalized pre-flight briefing. Meet your instructor, get oriented with the aircraft, and review your scenic flight plan. Everything is relaxed, guest-focused, and unrushed.
As the sun begins to dip, you’ll board either the classic Cessna 172 or the refined Piper Archer—both chosen for comfort, visibility, and smooth flight. As you climb skyward, the city transforms beneath you.
