Questions
Find answers to what you need to know about flying with us.
Do I need experience?
No. Our instructors teach from the ground up, whether you're starting fresh or building on existing skills. Scenic flights require no license at all.
How long does training take?
Most pilots earn their license in three to six months with regular lessons. The pace depends on your schedule and how quickly you progress.
What aircraft do you fly?
We operate a fleet of well-maintained single and twin-engine planes suited for training and recreational flying. All are regularly serviced and inspected.
Can I rent a plane solo?
Yes, once you're licensed. We require proof of your qualifications and a checkout flight with one of our instructors before you take the controls alone.
What about bad weather?
We don't fly in unsafe conditions. If weather turns, we reschedule your flight at no extra cost. Safety always comes first.
Are memberships worth it?
Members save significantly on hourly rates and get priority booking. You also join our community events and flyouts, which makes it worthwhile.
