  • An instrument rating gives you the skills and confidence to safely fly through clouds and in weather conditions that would keep you grounded with only a private pilot certificate. We strive to provide every student as much "actual" instrument conditions to train in as is safely possible.

    You'll learn procedures in a RedBird simulator and fly in our Garmin-equipped aircraft to earn your instrument rating and build cross-country and additional night flight experience.

  • A commercial pilot certificate refines your flying skills and teaches you the regulations related to commercial aviation. You'll spend about 50 flight hours prepping for your commercial certificate, along with associated ground instruction.

    To obtain the remaining hours needed to sit for the commercial checkride, students have a variety of options.

  • Adding on a multi-engine rating and building 25-50 multi-engine hours is often a pre-requisite of most professional pilot jobs.

    Your training starts with time in a RedBird simulator to learn multi-engine procedures. Then, we offer the option of earning your multi-engine certificate and 25 hours in a Piper Twin Commanche multi-engine aircraft or earning your multi-engine certificate plus multi-engine instructor rating to build further multi-engine hours.
