Programs, licenses
and ratings
Whether you want to fly for fun on weekends or make the cockpit your office, our Part 61 programs are structured, transparent and taught in a modern glass-cockpit fleet by instructors we trained ourselves.
Start with your goal
Both paths begin with the same discovery flight and the same Sport or Private Pilot certificate. The difference is what comes next, and how fast you get there.
Fly for the love of it
Learn to fly for personal enjoyment and travel. Earn your Sport or Private Pilot certificate in a modern glass-cockpit aircraft, train one to two times a week around your schedule, and add seaplane, instrument or multi-engine ratings whenever you're ready.
- Sport Pilot ~50 hrs · est. $10,000
- Private Pilot ~60 hrs · est. $12,500
Make the cockpit your office
Private Pilot, then a Sport Pilot Instructor certificate at 150 hours so you get paid to build the time you need for Commercial, Instrument and the airlines.
- Under a year to CFI-S
- Est. around $60,000 to Commercial*
Every certificate and rating we teach
Each can be taken on its own or as part of a training path. Estimates assume consistent training at typical progress. Open any rating for a summary and full details.
Structured, personal and efficient
One instructor, start to finish
We pair you with a single CFI for your whole course wherever possible. You never re-explain yourself, and your instructor knows exactly what you need next.
A real syllabus
Every certificate follows a phased lesson plan: basics and first solo, then navigation and cross-countries, then checkride prep. You always know where you are.
Fly as often as you can
We're open six days a week and recommend at least two lessons a week. Students who fly daily from our housing finish fastest.
Landing Doctor certified
Every instructor is trained in-house under founder Lou Mancuso's Landing Doctor Code and Ground Proximity Awareness technique.
Ready to take the controls?
Your discovery flight is about an hour with an instructor, a tour of the school, and roughly 30 minutes at the controls of a Bristell. No experience needed.
