What training looks like

Training focuses on flying the airplane smoothly on the edge of performance. You'll drill tight commercial maneuver tolerances, emergency procedures, and long distance cross country operations.

You'll master precision maneuvers like lazy eights, chandelles, and power off 180 degree accuracy landings.

We build the judgment and decision making commercial flying demands, built to prepare you for professional cockpits.

We recommend flying three times a week and studying on two of your days off. Often enough to retain what you learn, not so much that it overloads you. Schedules are built around you, and flying less often usually means more time relearning.
