Learning to fly is an extraordinary skill that is accomplished for many different reasons. Some have looked to the sky’s ever since they can remember, others have seen the excitement in a friend’s eye and thought it might be fun, and others have a personal fear to overcome. Whatever the reason may be, there will be a lot of fun ahead and many accomplishments along the way. Below are the details to be expected while in flight training, which can be changed to work with your schedule and goals.

Scheduling

It's important to fly consistently.

Scheduling

If there are large gaps between flights, some lessons may need to be repeated and reviewed again. The recommended schedule is two to three flight lessons a week. If your schedule only allows for one flight lesson a week, we recommend extra review. The extra review will help keep your skills fresh in your mind.

Studying

Three methods of studying to prepare for written and practical exams.

Studying

Study at home, attend ground school, and receive one-on-one ground instruction from a CFI.
