Course Tips

Q: When can I start flying?
A: You are encouraged to start flying when you are able. There is no "start" date like the ground classes.

Q: What if I don't finish my flying requirements in one semester?
A: The Grade for that class will be an incomplete and will be changed upon completion of the flight requirements.

Q: What is the best thing to be ready to go?>
A: Being prepared for every thing, and every flight will save you money in the long run. The best advice is to ensure money for the completion of your training, though not at all a requirement, funding is the major factor in students not completion there goals. We will do our best to help, but from experience it is best to find out side sources as our financial aid seems to have problems getting the money needed for flight. Flight training can be expensive but not at all impossible to do and pay for.

Q: When should I sign up for the next ground school?
A: The recommended idea is to only sign up for the next class such as starting instrument ground when and only when you are about two weeks within getting the check ride for your Pirate done. The problem comes when students are doing private and instrument and get over whelmed, or can not separate the information for each.
