Flight training courses

An introductory flying experience designed to give you a taste of what it's like to be a pilot — no previous experience required. You'll sit in the cockpit with a Certified Flight Instructor who walks you through the basic controls and maneuvers, and you'll have the chance to fly the plane yourself. A low-pressure, hands-on way to find out whether pursuing a certificate is right for you.

A comprehensive program covering both ground school and flight training. In ground school you'll learn aviation theory, regulations, weather and navigation. In the air, you'll learn to fly under the guidance of a CFI. The course finishes with a checkride, where you demonstrate your proficiency to a Designated Pilot Examiner. A PPL lets you fly privately and carry passengers for non-commercial purposes.

The next level of training, teaching you to fly solely by reference to instruments. Essential for flying in clouds or low visibility, and a strong way to sharpen the skills you built during your private pilot training. Includes ground school on instrument navigation, flight planning and regulations, plus in-flight practice in simulated and actual instrument conditions — navigational aids, instrument approaches and cockpit resource management.

Designed for pilots who want to fly professionally. This advanced program builds on your private pilot skills with higher standards of precision, safety and decision-making, emphasizing aviation regulation, advanced aerodynamics and cross-country navigation. A CPL allows you to be compensated for your flying and opens the door to a career in aviation.

A program that prepares experienced pilots to teach others to fly. The focus is on communicating flight concepts clearly, instructing students effectively, and safely managing a training environment. It's also the most common way to build the hours you need for an airline career.
