Flight Training Programs
Dreaming
of becoming a pilot? Wondering what the benefits of being a
pilot are? Let our professional instruction staff help
you meet your dreams and answer any questions you may have. The
programs listed below are designed for recreation through professional
pilots licenses.
PRIVATE PILOT- The Private Pilot Certificate
is the base license students are working towards. This program
takes someone who
has
never
flown an aircraft or attended any flight training and prepares
them for Federal Aviation Administration certification as a Private
Pilot. If you already have some flight training and would like
to discuss the possibility of completing your flight training
with us, that is no problem. Our skilled instructors will evaluate
your current training records and determine the continuation point
of your training.
It's easier than you think to earn
your Private Pilot Certificate. A typical flight lesson begins with a short preflight briefing
where you and your instructor discuss the learning objectives
for your lesson. Next, you and your instructor perform a preflight
inspection of your aircraft and prepare for your flight. Under
your flight instructors guidance you will take the controls and
fly the aircraft performing the maneuvers discussed prior to flight.
At all times, your instructor will be providing input and assistance
to ensure a relaxed and safe training environment.
Flight
training is typically a pay-as-you-go and therefore you are
not required to pay for all your flight training
up front. You can begin for as little as $89.00 by taking one
of our Intro Flights.
Below are the hourly costs associated with earning a Private
Pilot Certificate.

Cessna 172 Flight Time per hour $120.00
Instructors time per hour $36.00
* Flight and instruction estimates are based on the FAA flight
and instruction requirement for Private Pilot Certification.
FINANCING IS AVAILBLE FOR ALL CERTIFICATIONS
INSTRUMENT RATING - As
with our other flight training lessons, our Instrument Rating Program
uses a defined
flight and ground training
syllabus. We also use the latest version of ASA's PCATD IFR Simulator.
Flying a simulator in instrument conditions is extremely valuable
during instrument training. It allows the instructor to stop the
flight and assist the student with IFR Procedures. This stops
the development of negative habits and is something that cannot be performed in the air. 10 Hours of flight time can be logged
in our PCATD for your Instrument Rating which also saves money
of aircraft rental fees.
Below is an estimate of the
costs associated with earning an Instrument Rating.

40 Hours of Flight Time in an Instrument Certified Cessna 172 approximately $8000.00 plus tax
* Flight and instruction estimates are based on the FAA flight and

CERTIFIED FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR
- You've learned it, now you want to help others
learn it. The flight instructor's certificate is the ticket you
need to proceed. Let us help. Our FAA Part 61 CFI course is just
what you need to become a CFI.
The major emphasis in the CFI program is learning how to teach
and how to develop lesson plans, syllabi, and a library of
training materials. During the ground school portion of the course
you will build a personalized training manual and teach every
lesson required from the student level to CFI candidate. It is
a fun, but demanding challenge that will teach you about
flying. By becoming a flight instructor, you will learn to love aviation. If you want to really learn aviation, become a flight instructor.
The flying portion of the course consists of moving to the right
seat and being able to fly all the private and commercial level
maneuvers to Practical Test Standards (PTS) tolerances. Most CFI candidates master these
requirements in short order. The practical test for your initial
CFI certificate is conducted by an FAA inspector and requires
a complex airplane. The CFI certificate for airplanes can carry
the Airplane Single Engine, Airplane Multi-engine, and/or Instrument
Airplane ratings. These additional ratings are added to the CFI
certificate in the same manner your commercial
pilot certificate, via a practical test. The practical test for
this rating is typically conducted by a designated examiner.
