Frequently Asked Questions
-How safe is it?
Flying is one of the safest things you can do! We are passionate about safety and ensure that all our aircraft are maintained by some of the very best FAA certified mechanics right here in Atlanta. They all have decades of experience and are very detail oriented. Aircraft are inspected at regular intervals and undergo rigorous testing before being put back in service. Additionally, all pilots thoroughly inspect their aircraft prior to each and every flight! Your FAA certified flight instructor will make sure you feel both safe and confident while operating in our aircraft.
-Do students actually get to fly?
Yes! All students actually get to sit upfront and fly the airplane. They will be flying alongside an FAA Certified Flight Instructor who will help ensure their safety and comfort at all times.
-Do the flight hours actually count towards a pilots license?
Yes! All flight hours can be logged in a pilots logbook and actually count towards FAA requirements for obtaining a pilots certificate or rating.
-At the end of the program, are students able to get a license?
Yes! After students complete all the required tasks as required by the FAA and can show that they are both safe and proficient in the operation of the aircraft then they can take a practical flight exam with an FAA examiner to get their license.
-How long are the classes?
Almost all ground classes are about an hour long. Flights are usually about an hour long (flight time), however you can expect to spend around 3 hours at the airport for "flight classes" because we will need time for a briefing, debriefing and the pre/post flight.
