Choosing a Flight School

CHOOSING A FLIGHT SCHOOL

Selecting the right flight school is an extremely important decision on your journey toward a successful career as a pilot. Not all schools are equal, and this holds especially true for flight training institutions. The school you choose profoundly influences your ability to succeed in aviation. As you embark on your research to identify the ideal school for your aspirations, consider these crucial factors: Accreditation, Quality of Instruction, Aircraft Fleet, Location and Weather, Training Costs, Payment Options, and, perhaps most significantly, the firsthand experiences of current students.

AIRCRAFT

We only fly modern and new aircraft with a training fleet consisting of 70+ Cessna C-172, Piper Senecas, plus a Decathlon 8KCAB for upset recovery safety training. Aircraft are equipped with the latest in navigation equipment with all glass cockpits, which allows easier transition to larger and jet aircraft for the student when hired as a professional pilot.
