  • 55 Hours of Ground Instruction

    We believe tele-conference or pre-recorded video is not an effective way of making great instructors. Our course provides 55 hours of in person ground lessons taught by experienced instructors.

  • All Books & Materials

    No need to haul heavy books to our course. We’ll provide all books and materials for you on your very first day. Just bring yourself and a laptop or tablet device and be ready to listen and learn.

    Stack of books and magazines with titles including "New Highlight in the City" and "Rosemarie Trocke."

  • Pre-formatted Lesson Plan Outlines

    Lesson plans should be in your own words. However, one of the biggest struggles students have is the format. We’ll take away the struggle with our personalized pre-formatted lesson plans.

A Typical Day

A typical day for students will consist of five hours of classroom training with multiple breaks in a low stress environment. Flight training will occur either in the morning (prior to class start time) or afternoon (following class dismissal) depending on aircraft availability. We ask that you show up to class rested and ready to learn.

On non-classroom days expect to fly and work on your lesson plans and with your peers. Lunch will be catered on all classroom dates. During personal time students are surrounded by many stores and restaurants within walking distance of the apartment.

Prerequisites

Prior to day 1, all students must hold a Commercial Single Engine certificate with current instrument rating. We ask that you are current and proficient in both VFR and IFR maneuvers and approaches. This will speed up the process and ensure there are no delays in your training. Your FOI, FIA, FII written tests must be completed prior to day 1 as well. If you do not possess a Spin Endorsement, this can be arranged for completion during the course for a $300 fee.
