The "Old School" Hybrid Private Pilot Program:

Complete your pre-solo work in the Piper J-3 Cub to maximize your stick and rudder skills, then progress to the Cessna 172SP to apply what you've learned to a more powerful airplane with updated avionics.  This usually includes 10-15 hours' work in the Cub, with the balance of your training in the 172.  Tailwheel endorsement included. Customers must meet the 200 pound maximum weight requirement for the Cub.

The Contemporary Private Pilot Program:

Complete your training from the ground up in the Cessna 172.

Ground School:

Ground school makes up some of the most important training you'll receive.  We have a well-developed, proven ground school curriculum for each certificate and rating we offer.  This is done one-on-one, and is spaced in with the flight lesson appointments.  It is designed to equip you to be an above-average decision maker, to equip you to easily learn new airplanes and requirements, and to equip you to master the FAA oral exam.  To us, this is a completely different philosophical mission than the FAA knowledge test pursues, and so we frequently make recommendations for several home study programs for knowledge exam preparation.

Part 61 Complex Requirement for Commercial/Flight Instructor:

Although a complex aircraft is no longer required for the practical test, applicants for the Commercial Pilot Certificate must still demonstrate 10 hours' experience in one.  Through our partnership with another local company, Chiota Aviation, we have access to a late model Mooney M-20J in which we can complete this requirement with you.

Sport Pilot Training:

Our J-3 Cub is insured for dual instruction only.  Due to this and because Sport Pilot Training falls outside of the missions we've identified as a company, we do not offer initial training for the Sport Pilot Certificate.
