Starting Flight Instruction
Many people have an interest in learning to fly, but few take those crucial steps to actually start, and fewer still see it through to getting their Private Pilot Certificate! Getting to that level takes a commitment of time, money, and, most importantly, yourself! But we can help you through the process, as we have for so many others. And, as a "Part 61" school, we will do it on your schedule! Since we are not regimented like a university or "Part 141" school, we have the flexibility to help you be a pilot in as little or as much time as you need!
Airplane Flight Instruction
Most people begin their flight instruction with one of the airplane pilot certificates. Here, you'll find information about getting the two most common, the Sport Pilot or Private Pilot Certificate!
Advanced Flight Instruction
A Private Pilot Certificate isn't the end of your training! We offer instruction for further certificates and ratings, including Instrument, Multi-Engine, Commercial, Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) and Airline Transport Pilot (ATP), and can help you get your endorsements for tailwheel, complex, high-performance, and pressurized aircraft. And, if you need a flight review, an instrument proficiency check, or just want training in modern avionics like the Garmin G-1000, we can help you there, too!
Helicopter Flight Instruction
Learning to fly helicopters is something that few do, but it brings great rewards. Your Helicopter Private Pilot Certificate is a great start, and we don't stop there!
Assistance
There are a number of organizations and programs that can be of assistance to people starting if you want to be a pilot. The Aircraft Owner's and Pilot's Association is involved in this in many areas. Their Project Pilot helps you find a mentor who can be available to talk about your flight training.
Additionally, they offer a free six-month subscription to their AOPA Flight Training magazine and a lot of additional information at their Flight Training site.
We understand that flight training is
expensive. There are a number of ways to get financial assistance. First, there are loans available through Pilot Finance and other companies. Second, there are grants available from a number of organizations such as the Future Woman Pilot program from the Ninety-Nines, scholarships from the Women in Aviation, and others.
For more information, come in and talk with one of our professional flight instructors. We'll be happy to help you!
