Are you interested in learning to fly? Take your first step skyward with our " Intro Flight ". The Intro Flight is approximately one hour of flight instruction relating to the basics of flying and a summary of the academics required to become a certified pilot.     

The objective of the intro flight is to expose the individual to the experience of piloting an aircraft and the basic theory of operation of the flight control systems. All intro flights can be logged as “flight training” and used to meet the experience requirements toward your Private Pilot License.

Private Pilot's License

plane

The freedom of flight is yours when you get your private pilot's license. Take friends and family on a vacation for a day or a week. Travel times are dramatically cut, and the scenery can't be beat. Business trips can be completed in a day, instead of requiring an overnight stay. Whatever reason you have for wanting a pilot's license, our highly trained instructors will help you through the process. We use the Jeppesen  Flight Syllabus and teaching system. It is a self directed system of books, quizzes, video tapes and tests that you take at your own pace, with your instructor monitoring your progress. At the same time you will be taking instructional flights and using the information you learned on the ground. You will quickly learn how to control the airplane, and before you know it, you will be flying it by yourself. After that, you will learn to fly at night, make long distance trips, and soon be ready for your check ride to get your license.
