TRAINING PROGRAMS |
| PRIVATE PILOT'S LICENSE (PPL) |
Your flight training begins with the Private Pilot License. With this license, you can operate a majority of single engine aircraft, under Visual Flight Rules (VFR.) Proflight offers initial flight training under Part 141 and Part 61. This means you can train in our structured courses in a short time (Part 141) or if you can't go full time, you can train to your schedule (Part 61.)
You can choose from the Cessna 172, Diamond Evolution, Diamond Star, or Piper Warrior for your Private Pilot training. Check out our Rental page for descriptions of each aircraft. |
| INSTRUMENT RATING (IR) |
After you have achieved your Private Pilot License, your next step is the Instrument Rating. The Instrument Rating gives you the skills and confidence to fly in reduced visibility conditions. An Instrument rating is also required to fly above 18,000 feet, in the "Class A" airspace.
We use the Cessna 172, or Diamond Star for Instrument training. You can also use the Elite PCATD Simulator for practice or to log simulator time towards your rating. |
| COMMERCIAL PILOT'S LICENSE (CPL) |
The Commercial Rating is the first step towards a career as a paid pilot. You can not fly for hire until you have achieved this rating. It takes plenty of practice and more precision than the previous instruction, but at Proflight, we have the experience to help you achieve this goal.
We have a Socata TB-20 for Commercial training.
|
| ** MULTI ENGINE RATINGS (MEL, MEI, MEC) |
A multi engine rating is the next step for the career pilot. The importance of multi engine time logged by an airline pilot applicant can make the difference between being hired and not. We frequently offer a basic Multi Engine Rating, and a reduced cost Multi Engine Time Building course. ** Contact us to check on the availability of Multi Engine Training.
|
| FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR (CFI) AND INSTRUMENT FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR (CFII) |
A Flight Instructor rating, either a CFI or CFII (instrument instructor) allows you to pass on what you have learned to others. Also, at Proflight, we are always looking for top-notch instructors, and if hired, you can log hours towards an advanced rating while getting paid for it.
We use all of our aircraft for Flight Instructor training. |
| FLIGHT SIMULATOR |
Proflight offers the Elite PCATD, an FAA certified flight simulator. This can be used for up to 10 hours of simulated instrument training towards your instrument rating. The FAA does require that a student using a simulator must be accompanied by an instructor to log the time towards a rating. |
| GROUND SCHOOL |
We offer Private Pilot, Instrument, and Commercial Ground Schools through out the year. Although some people prefer to home study and take their FAA exams on their own, taking ground school in a classroom setting allows you to study without all of the normal outside distractions. Contact us to see how our instructors can help you pass your exams.
We also offer individual study assistance, which we custom tailor to help you in the specific areas that you need. |
