Training Course Overview

Intro / Discovery Flight

Most people begin their aviation journey with a Discovery Flight—an unforgettable first step into the world of flying. This one-hour experience includes a guided tour of the aircraft and the chance to take the controls yourself. Whether you choose to fly locally or head toward a destination you’ve always wanted to see, it’s the perfect way to experience the thrill of flight. Flight Training

 

Private Pilot Certificate

Many pilots start their training in a Cessna 172 or Piper Archer—versatile, reliable aircraft that are a joy to fly. They’ll teach you all the fundamental skills needed to earn your Private Pilot Certificate while offering the comfort and capability to carry up to four people. Perfect for trips with friends or family, these aircraft can take you to exciting destinations like Catalina Island or Palm Springs. Renters can enjoy a variety of instrument panels, from classic “steam” gauges to cutting-edge glass cockpit systems.

 

Instrument Rating

Now it's time to put your head in the clouds—Instrument flight training consists of using solely your flight instruments to navigate from one airport to another. Your instructor will teach you how to scan instruments and navigate GPS systems while wearing a hood or view-limiting device. Our glass panel planes make it not only the nicest choice around, but also the safest.

 

Commercial Pilot Certificate

After receiving your private pilot certificate and instrument rating you can start your path to getting paid to fly as a Commercial Pilot—This step will help you be able to fly for hire, whether that be a skydive pilot, cargo pilot or even becoming a flight instructor

 

Flight Instructor

A career as a Flight Instructor is one of the most rewarding paths in aviation. Many pilots, shortly after or even while completing their Commercial Pilot Certificate, go on to earn their Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) rating. Sharing the joy of flight and helping others achieve their aviation dreams is an experience beyond measure.

 

Sport Pilot

If you’re looking to save time and money—or if you’re unsure about passing the medical exam—the Sport Pilot Certificate might be the perfect fit. The minimum required flight time is 20 hours, though most students need a bit more. While every license comes with certain limitations, the upcoming MOSAIC rules, expected in late 2025, will give sport pilots the opportunity to fly many of the same aircraft that private pilots have come to love.
