Welcome to Aero Maintenance!

Once you've visited us at Aero Maintenance Flight Center and completed your rental agreement, we'll assign you a Flight Instructor and schedule your first flight! Here’s some additional information you may find helpful.

The discovery flight gives you a taste of what it’s like to feel the freedom of flying with all the fun and excitement that getting a pilot’s license provides.

Discovery flights are $180 (45-60 minutes), call us to schedule a Discovery Flight! (360) 735-9441
