You are known by the aircraft that you keep!
Our Sports Pilot Training Program is centered on the safe, affordable, state of the art, sport pilot aircraft, the 2008 GoBosh 700S. This aircraft is not only available for training but also for rental. We understand that once you have achieved your rating, you will need something to fly. Why not fly what you learned in. We also sell the 700S and the CTLS, for sales information visit our Sky Aviation LLC site.
For private pilots and our Private Pilot Training Program we also offer the 1995 Piper Archer III. Available for flight training and rental, pilots will find this aircraft ideal for cross country flying. The Archer comes equipped with a Garmin GNS530W GPS, coupled to a STEC55 autopilot with altitude hold and GPSS Steering. The Archer is considered by many to be the ultimate training and IFR platform. Stable, safe and reliable, the Archer is a consistent choice among the best flight schools in the nation. Fast enough to load the family in for a weekend cross country, yet docile enough to make an excellent training aircraft.
Make the affordable choice in flight training
Our latest addition to the fleet is a 2008 GoBosh 700S Luxury Sport aircraft. The newly created light sport license can be obtained for up to 1/3 the cost of a private pilot license, in an aircraft that is fast and sophisticated enough for cross country flying. The GoBosh cruises at 112 Knots and has a range of 400 nautical miles and is equipped with a Garmin 495 GPS and has a two years/400 hours warranty.
Train at our newly constructed hangar with state of the art training materials and equipment, including an iTowbot for moving planes. The iTowbot makes preparing the plane and moving it out of the hanger much easier then the old by-hand push and pull process. Learn at you own pace under the guidance of two flight instructors that have over 50 years of flying experience.
