Flight Review
$60/hr - ground, $205/hr - Jabiru J250-SP
$205/hr - BushCat
Certificated pilots are required to have a flight review every 24 months. This review must include at least an hour of ground instruction covering the regulations and at least an hour of flight instruction during which the pilot must demonstrate safe flight. We offer this service to pilots in either of our aircraft. Pick up some "Technically Advanced" time in our sleek, higher performance, glass panel Jabiru. Or consider getting your tailwheel endorsement (see below) in our crazy fun, "back to basics flying", short takeoff and landing, BushCat.

Tailwheel Endorsement
$205/hr
Want to become a better pilot? Tailwheel aircraft require more attentiveness toward, and control over, the plane. This is because to the center of gravity is behind the main wheels instead of in front of them, like in a nosewheel plane, which makes the plane apt to ground loop (which is just like it sounds) if the pilot does not keep the plane pointed in the direction of travel. What you learn in a tailwheel translates to more & better control in a nosewheel plane.
Why fly a tailwheel airplane? Because it is challenging and crazy fun! It's bragging rights! It's like taking a step back in time when all airplanes were tailwheels (in fact, it's still called "conventional landing gear")! Getting our tailwheel endorsements made us feel more like pilots than did a Commercial Pilot's license. To us, flying a tailwheel is real piloting!
Training for a tailwheel endorsement involves some ground school, taxi practice, familiarization with our aircraft at altitude, grass 3 point and wheel landings, and pavement 3 point and wheel landings. Time will vary according to pilot experience and skill, but we have found it usually takes about 10 hours of flight and 4 hours of ground instruction.

Primary Flight Instruction - SPORT PILOT
$60/hr - ground, $205/hr - flight
Sport Pilot was created relatively recently to allow for an easier, simpler, and more affordable entry to flying. It provides many of the same privileges as Private Pilot, with only a few exceptions, such as flying at night. One of the many benefits of earning a Sport Pilot Certificate is that, should you choose to further expand your airplane flying experience, all of your training with us will count toward a Private Pilot Certificate. We enjoy thinking of flight as a sport -- as something challenging and engaging, something that you can use to push yourself to grow or do for the sheer pleasure of it, or both.
We are certified by the FAA to train pilots for a Sport Pilot Certificate. We "guesstimate" -- we make an educated guess based on our experiences and data from other sources -- that it takes about 50 hours of flight and 20 hours of ground instruction (presuming you have already taken the written test) to be ready for your Practical Test to earn a Sport Certificate -- but it is entirely up to your skill and commitment to learning. We are very careful with our students, and we only solo them when they can reliably demonstrate ALL skills necessary to earn a Sport Pilot license. Naturally, this means that once they solo, they are very close to the finish line. Our students also enjoy the added benefit of training in both of our very different aircraft. Other costs to consider are the written test preparation supplies, the written test fees, Designated Pilot Examiner fees, and Aircraft rental for the check ride.
Note that we fly regularly, and so we stay pretty sharp. Piloting is a perishable skill. Come fly with us to stay current, to add a new skill, or JUST TO GET UP IN THE AIR!
