Flight School

Discovery Flight:

• Your instructor will guide you through a pre-flight inspection, including information about airplane parts and flight controls. 
• You will be able to control the aircraft throughout the flight, trying basic maneuvers.
• You’ll end with a realistic idea of what training and flying is like
• Post-flight question and answer session with the instructor

Getting Started:

• No experience necessary
• Flights are available for US and Non-US citizens.
• Call us anytime to schedule your flight.

Depending on your goals and ambitions, our team will help you build a plan for success before you begin training including budgeting, scheduling, and medical certification.

• Budget: our team will provide a review of flight training costs and develop a schedule that fits your budget and maximizes the efficiency of your training.
• Schedule: We understand the importance of customizing a schedule that fits your lifestyle. Ideally, we recommend flight student`s schedule at least 2 lessons per week. If your work, academic, or personal schedule won’t allow that, we are happy to work with you to establish a personalized training schedule that will meet your needs and allow you to succeed.
• Medical: Early in your training you will need to obtain an FAA Medical Certificate. This is a simple form that is required, stating you are medically qualified to act as the pilot in command of an aircraft.

You are now pursuing your Private Pilot Certificate. The first exciting event in your training will be to Solo the Airplane. You will have learned the skills necessary to fly an airplane on your own. With the training you receive by our professional flight instruction team you now have the freedom of flight on your own.

You can now say I did it – I can fly an airplane on my own. Congratulations!

From here you your instructor will guide you through all the additional skills you will need to get your private pilot certificate.

You’ve done it. You’ve completed the necessary training and can safely navigate an airplane, and soar through the open sky. The last step is to pass your FAA examination, known as a Checkride. There are three parts to the Checkride: a written, verbal, and practical exam. The computer-based written exam is done in advance once your flight instructor has informed the FAA that you have completed the required training to pass the test. The verbal and practical tests are completed with an FAA Designated Examiner (“DE”) usually on the same day as the written exam. The DE is often a senior pilot in the community that has authorization from the FAA to grant private pilot licenses. Don’t expect any curveballs. The DE will run you through all the maneuvers that you’ve worked to perfect during your training with your flight instructor.

At the end of a successful Checkride, the DE will utter those famous words that you’ve worked hard to hear: “Congratulations, you’re now a certified pilot!”
