2-Place Trainers
2-place trainers are used for primary flight instruction. They are very cost effective, but have limited capacity for both weight and flight time. Some of them can also be used for Light Sport ratings and subsequent rental.

4-Place Trainers
4-place trainers are used for primary flight instruction and are also popular for rental for short to medium distance cross countries, though they are certainly suitable for longer trips of 1000NM or longer. They are all IFR capable and have IFR-certified GPS's.

Advanced
These planes require additional endorsements or certificates to fly. They are used for advanced training and longer cross countries. They are all IFR capable and have IFR-certified GPS's.

The helicopter rating is one of the most rewarding and challenging available. For those who already have it, or for those who want to get it, we have two Robinson helicopters and a Bell 47B.

Flight Training Devices
For those days when the weather just doesn't support going flying, or if you just want a cost-effective way to get some simulated instrument conditions, we have two FAA-approved flight training devices. (FTDs are commonly referred to as simulators, but the FAA reserves that term for full-motion devices.)
