Traditional Flight Training Courses

Traditional Flight Training Courses –

Flight training in modern airplanes equipped with 21st Century avionics (aviation electronics) is offered for all FAA Certificates and Ratings from Private Pilot to Airline Transport Pilot (ATP), plus aircraft checkout for rental if you are already a certificated pilot. Traditionally the student pilot schedules an airplane and his/her assigned instructor 2 or 3 times per week during the course of instruction. Three times a week or more often is the most cost effective.

 

Our courses integrate ground and flight training to enhance your learning experience and to reduce your airplane rental costs.  Lessons on the ground prepare you to get the most out of your flight lesson by better understanding of the flight environment. You will be better prepared to benefit from each hour in the airplane using our approach to flight training.

 

Traditionally, you can fly anytime you want, when ever you want, dual and solo consistent with safe operating practices and federal regulations. Consistency and reinforcement of proper pilot technique will lead to a more satisfying experience. If your schedule permits, it is recommended that you fly Monday/Wednesday/Friday or Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday or some three day combination.

 

All flight training will be guided by a lesson syllabus that provides a building block sequence of learning events and a check list of requirements to be completed. A detailed training record will be maintained of your knowledge, skill and ability progress. Your instructor will be mentored by senior staff and your progress monitored to assure optimal results for your personal goals. Several times during your training course you will fly with a senior instructor to validate your training. You will learn that flying an airplane is a fascinating combination of simple and complex skills, with many little details and procedures that are essential for what ever phase of flight training you are involved in. You will find each phase of flight training fun and rewarding.

 

We have divided flight training activities into “packages” to break down your investment and offer you more options for your personal interests and goals. All packages provide a 10% discount off the standard airplane rate. The following is a list of packages and options that include airplane and instructor fees, as well as essential training material. All flight training is based upon competency and the listed flight times are typical for that phase of training. Some students may finish sooner, and we will do our best to help you do that, any unused funds will be returned to you. Some students may require additional time in some phases or packages and thus require an additional investment.
