EMT will teach you how to avoid trouble, but also how to recover should you get into trouble. Our program emphasizes exploring the edges of the normal flight envelope - something most pilots don’t experience during ‘normal’ flight training. We teach you to anticipate potential problems, recognize early signs a problem is developing, and ingrain the correct reactions to fix it. In turn, you will become a safer, more confident pilot.

Since the FAA mandates a Flight Review every 24 calendar months, why not take the opportunity to hone your flying skills? One hour of ground school and one hour of flight time (FAR 61.56) is not sufficient to maintain proficiency. Our flight review package provides up to 4 hours of ground school and 4 hours of flight time in our Citabria 7ECA, tailored specifically to each pilot’s skill level, experience, and preferences.
Price: $2,150
Includes:
Up to 4 hours of flight time.
Up to 4 hours of ground school.
3 nights accommodation.
Breakfast and dinner.

In addition to our all-inclusive packages, we can customize training to your specific needs and preferences. If you would like to complete any certificate or rating with us, please contact us to discuss options. We can provide training with or without accommodation, as required.
