    We signed up my husband for the first discovery flight for a Monday at 10AM before the end of last…read moreyear. The instructor checked the weather to help determine the best day for an hour flight up. We got some Ariel views of the ground below. Only traveled about 5-10 nautical miles from the airport and traveled northwest. Ann Arbor is only about 30 nautical miles away. The first discovery flight for a 4 seater plane is $220. The two seater is only $180 or so. The 4 seater is a bit more roomy for taller folks, like my husband. We could have also flown out of their Howell, Ypsilanti, Flint and their Pontiac location. The discovery today was out of Pontiac airport. It's another worldly experience being up in the air and in the cockpit area of a plane for sure. The instructor, M was nice, a newer licensed pilot. He was still informative and helpful. Always there supporting and coaching my husband through the process during the discovery fight. He did the take-off and landing for us, as expected for the first time up. M said he has never flown for fun at all, it has always been for work and to rack up his required flight hours. He only got his private pilot license back in 2016. M made sure to do a 10-15 minute plane check ahead of the fight take-off and helped field some more follow-up questions after our flight. You steer with the stick between your legs. The Pontiac location is towered. The Howell location is not towered. Gives a bit more assurance flying out of a towered airport than an unmanned airport. The first discovery flight cost $220 out the door. Each flight up will be about $250 or so there afterwards. Requires about 55 hours of flight up through Crosswinds. It is 40 hours minimum by the FAA. $150 for two seater planes after the first ride and four seater is $189 for an hour at a time, includes gas per hour. Excludes any landing fees for the airports. The tank holds enough gas for about a 4 hour flight. You get to fly for 45 minutes of the hour ride up. It's recommended that you keep the same instructor for all of your lessons too for consistency and comfort. Their planes are newer and well kept as well. I can see why folks take the plunge and take flight lessons now.

    Great flight school and rental service all around. The instructors are fantastic and the aircraft…read moreare well maintained. Crosswinds won't just teach you to be a pilot. Instead, they will teach you how to be a safe and competent pilot who can analyze flight conditions and make go/no go decisions. The scheduling system allows renters to squawk issues that are noticed on aircraft so that they can be sent in for maintenance. It is easy to tell that both flight safety and enjoyment are key to Crosswinds. I have completed my private pilot through Crosswinds and am in the process of completing my instrument rating with them. I have rented their planes for over 50 hours of personal flying time with zero issues. I have no complaints, except that I wish they had a multi-engine plane.

    Omg - 10x YES! You…read moreever wanted to get trained on some tools. This is the place they have a variety of selections available and you can also view those online along with the dates. Highly suggest doing the tour before you register for a class and or membership because you will get a discount on your first class. The trainer was super attentive and will help you build up your confidence even if you came nervous like I did. You always hearing horror stories about things not going right when people use tools even after watching YouTube channels. I attended the three saw class which included on hand training and techniques on the panel, miter, and table saw. Please note in order to use their tools outside of training you would need to become a member which is still a great opportunity for someone who's trying to start or began a new crafting and or trade. Did I mention that there's two shop dogs there? Yes, they're two bloodhounds that walks around in the lobby. Unfortunately they're not always there but I believe they are in the a.m. so if you do a tour make sure you say hi and they have treats available. Strongly recommend this place. I can't say enough about how happy I was just to do the things outside of my comfort zone. Happy crafting!!!

    I didn't know the right words, so they snickered and demeaned me…read more Then they repeated what I said very slowly, but by bit, with a snide grin. One person will tell you they don't offer a service, then another person will say they do. Their website is evidently wrong according to them, but they can't fix it.
