We use a team of four instructors to get you through the training. The Classroom and all academics are taught by a former Designated Pilot Examiner and Aviation Author.
His courseware is used by major Aviation Universities and Academies in the US.
Flight training is conducted by hand-selected Flight Instructors trained by the company founder. This approach ensures you will have a solid academic background to pass the oral and begin teaching right after the class. You will be employable and be able to teach all of the Private and Commercial pilot program lessons with no additional training.
Using several instructors for flight training allow flexibility in scheduling and also offers different perspectives on how to teach based upon different learning and teaching styles.

“I decided that I really wanted to be able to work right after I passed the CFI checkride. I didn't want to look foolish when I had my first student. This place made sure I was ready to pass the checkride AND teach right out of the gate.”
