Private Pilot’s License—This is where we all start. You will learn the basics of flight, landings, take-offs, and how to navigate the skies safely. When you finish, you will be able to enjoy years of flying, and you will also have the basics of knowledge to help guide you to the next level in your flight career. Click here for more info.

Instrument Rating—This is typically the next step for pilots, especially those who don’t want a few clouds to get in their way of flight enjoyment. Learn how to fly through different types of weather and sharpen your navigation skills, even when your visibility is hindered. Click here for more info.

Multi-engine rating—This is your access to more powerful and sophisticated planes. Our multi-engine programs include both visual (VFR) and instrument (IFR) meteorological conditions. You will fly along airways with ATC-directed routing. Click here for more info.

Commercial Pilot Rating—This is the beginning of your career path in aviation. You’ve already been flying, and you likely have your instrument rating. When you are done with this class you will have the knowledge to get a job as a charter pilot, cargo pilot, or any number of other careers. Click here for more info.
