FAQs
Common questions.
Do you hire your own CFIs?+
When we have slots open, yes — and we have hired locally. Our newest CFI is one example. Talk to us about timing during your training.
Should I do CFI or just keep building hours?+
If your goal is the airlines or any 1500-hour ATP path, CFI is almost always the cheapest way to get there because students pay for the airplane while you build hours.

Ready when you are
Don't let another year go by on the ground.
Five years from now, you can be the person who flew their family to the beach last weekend — or the person still talking about it.
Most people who say they'll learn to fly never do, because they never take the first step. Book a discovery flight today and we'll be in the air this week.
