Have you always wanted to learn to fly, but didn’t think you had the time? Get the full experience. You will taxi, takeoff, fly to another airport and perform an assisted landing. But first we’ll teach you how. We supply all of the Self-Study Training Content – Flight Instruction Manual, online Videos, and web-based Tutorials. Then, after a condensed ground school and four sessions in our full-motion simulator, you’ll be ready for your graduation flight.
The flight school has incorporated modern, full-motion flight simulators and cutting-edge flight training techniques to provide a fast track to the unforgettable experience of piloting an aircraft. For many participants, the Pilot QuickStart program will provide all of the fun and excitement of flying they will ever need. Others will find themselves hooked on flying and use the QuickStart program as an accelerated starting point for a more extended flying adventure. Most of the time, and all of the study, from the Pilot QuickStart program can count towards additional pilot certifications. The program can be completed in 5 days.
