| Private Pilot |
|
The Private Pilot course
is divided into three steps. Step one introduces the basic skills
of controlling the airplane and concludes with your first solo.
Step two adds navigation, aircraft performance information and
night operations. This phase ends when the student can perform
these skills solo. The final step allows the student to build
time and confidence in all the skills necessary to become a private
pilot while preparing for certification.

| Instructor Courses |
| The flight instructor
courses are designed to meet or exceed the requirements of FAR 141
for a flight instructor certification course and additional flight
instructor rating courses. A student may enroll in the three instructor
courses consecutively and become a fully qualified CFI with instrument
and multi-engine airplane instructor privileges at the conclusion
of the training programs. A student who has already acquired a basic
flight instructor certificate may acquire either or both of the additional
instructor ratings. The Basic and Instrument Instructor Courses utilize
single-engine airplanes while the Multi-engine Instructor Course utilizes
multi-engine land airplanes with wing-mounted engines. |
| Flight Instructor |
|
The student will obtain the
aeronautical skill, instructional knowledge, and experience necessary
to meet the requirements of a flight instructor certificate with
an airplane category rating and a single-engine class rating.
