About JW Aviation

Chicago Area's Premier Flight School at Bolingbrook Airport It All Starts With A Discovery Flight Ask any pilot, regardless if they are Captains of 747’s or fly single engine Cessna’s on the weekends, they will all tell you that their love of aviation started with a Discovery Flight. This one hour introductory lesson to flight training will give you the chance to experience piloting a general aviation aircraft. Flying a plane is something the average person won’t ever experience. We want to change that. Our Discovery Flight is meant to not only show you what the aviation community is all about but also help you join it. It only takes one flight to know if flying is right for you. Learn The Basics Get to know the basics behind aerodynamics and what makes an airplane fly. You’ll get to take full control of the plane, with the safety of your instructor. Fly over your house, perform basic maneuvers, and experience what being a general aviation pilot is like. Afterwords, continue training to earn the Private Pilot certificate and explore the skies. All Discovery Flights include 1 hour introduction and ground instruction, and 1 hour flight time. 2 hours total, for $199 per person. Where else can you get to fly a real plane on your first day? OPTIONAL Redbird Sim Trainer The Redbird LD Flight Simulator is an Advanced Aviation Training Device per the FAA. Log time in the simulator in any weather conditions; instrument-rated pilots can log currency requirements while saving money. MORE
