Our strategy to enhance safety is ensured by requiring all trainees to have an airworthy aircraft, a licensed proficient instructor pilot, and an extensive weather briefing prior to starting any engine, whether for flight or for taxiing.In the history of aviation pilot error has been the number one cause of accidents.

As soon as your feet can reach the pedals you can learn how to fly by taking an Intro Lesson. The law states however you must be 16 years old to execute your first Solo and 17 years old to become a licensed Private Pilot. If you have a preferred instructor, please indicate this at the time of scheduling.
