Flight Training FAQ

Specific Requirements Vary based on the Course selected. Please see individual Course descriptions for requirements. You can also schedule a enrollment interview via in-person or MS Teams for guidance.

Specifically, you will need a Current/Valid US Passport or Official Birth Certificate, and Driver's License. If you are not a US Citizen, you will have to go through FTSP process to obtain your authorization to flight train.

Unless your Primary Physician is also an AME (Aviation Medical Examiner), they will not be able to provide you with a valid FAA Medical Certificate.

If you do not wish to undergo FAA's Medical Certificate process, a viable option is to enroll in a Sport Pilot Course where you are eligible to fly if you have a valid Driver's License and Self-Certify that you are fit to fly.

Unfortunately, we do not offer Sport Pilot Flight Training Course at this time. Please check back with us later.

For our Accelerated Fast Track Programs, we are required to use Gleim Aviation's Kit as our 1 on 1 Ground School is conducted under Part 141. However, if you are enrolled in our Part Time Program, you may use your older materials for Self-Study but please note that we will still use Gleim Aviation's Syllabus. It is highly advisable that you obtain up to date information than to rely on older materials as regulations, airspace, technology, etc changes.

This varies depending on Instructor's qualification (CFI, CFII, MEI) and their approval (Part 61 only or Part 141). For Accelerated Full Time Students, we assign up to 2 Students per Instructor at a time.

Per specific Course, you are either Full Time or Part Time. You are welcome to schedule your flights as much as you want with your Instructor based on your classification.

Part Time: An instructor will be assigned multiple Part Time Students at a time. You can schedule your next flights for the next week (one week at a time).
Full Time: An instructor will be assigned not more than 2 Students at a time. You can schedule your entire Certificate or Rating.
Career Track: Same as Full Time but if you are in class at least 4 days per week, 8 hours per day for the entire program, we offer a free Multi Instrument Commercial Add On program at the end.

We do not offer Classroom based training but rely on 1 on 1 training. Therefore, you may start at any time we have availability.

Our Ground School classes are held in 1 of 3 classrooms in our facility. An Instructor will have various methods of explaining terminology, theory, and practical information to students.

Each lesson, our Instructor will explain the information and answer any questions from students. At end of each class, a test will be assigned to students which will need to be completed prior to next lesson. Additionally, Stage tests and End of Course tests will be given which will determine your graduation eligibility.

We do not provide books or other materials for you to study by yourself and hope for the best. Our Instructors will guide you through the materials and explain so that you have full understanding of the information required.

YES and NO. It will depend on your ability to fly and how much knowledge you have to pass your checkride.

We recommend that you take a lesson with your Instructor so that he/she can gauge your skill level. Then, a timeline can be considered for you to finish up your Certificate or Rating.

Additionally, even if you have taken your Knowledge Exam, we do not know your knowledge level. Therefore, a Mock Checkride is definitely required before we schedule your checkride.

The differences are based on your scheduling priority. Part Time students can reserve training a week at a time. While Full Time students will be scheduled for their entire Certificate or Rating at the beginning of their training. However, Full Time students are REQUIRED to be in class at least 4 days per week, 8 hours per day or they will be re-categorized as Part Time student.

Career Track program provides a FREE* Multi Instrument Commercial Add On at the end of the Program in entirety. But the student must be in Full Time standing at all times to quailfy.

No, as a Part Time student, you can schedule your flight training with your instructor in one week increments. This is due to higher scheduling priority given to our Full Time and Career Track students that have limited time to finish.

As Part 141 Instrument Rating Course foregoes the 50 Hours of XC necessary for Part 61, we have designed all of our courses to utilize this method. However, if you come to us with the necessary 50 Hours of XC logged, we can provide Part 61 Instrument Rating to you.

First of all, thank you very much for your Service. But unfortunately, we gave up our Authorization with VA. We would honesly recommend that you enroll in a Community College or University Based programs.

At this time, we are not SEVP Approved so we are not able to provide any Visa Assistance. However, we are waiting for our approval so please check back with us at a later time.

Depending on the Course you have enrolled in, your flights might be scheduled a week at a time in advance or the entire Certificate or Rating Course could be scheduled as soon as you start.

If you have any questions, please get with your instructor and pre-book as long as you can. But please note that our Career Track and Full Time students will have priority in scheduling due to their limited time constraints.

Cancellation fee varies based on the circumstances involved. If you are sick, please don't come to school. But generally, we ask that you cancel a day before your flight to accommodate everyone involved.

Our new guidance is that if you cancel last minute or is a no-show, we can charge up to 75% of reservation times for your instructor and aircraft.

NO. We do not take upfront initial payments as we do not want to hold your money. All training is paid after each lesson/day on your credit card that is on-file (2.4% fee) with us or via cash/check in up to $2,000.00 increments.

Please see individual Course information for what is required to start.

NO. We do not offer Block Rates as we strive to make it as affordable as possible to all students.

YES. We can accept a personal check for your training. However, if one comes back NSF, check writing privilege will be revoked.
