Flight Review

We are happy to provide flight reviews!
The FAA requires a flight review to have an hour of ground and an hour of flight. However, many people often need a little more time. If you are flying regularly and review regulations and changes, you should be able to finish close to the FAA minimums.

As a general rule of thumb, for every year you don’t fly, plan on 2h of flight training.

Before your flight review course:

  • Review regulations
  • Review aircraft operating manual
  • Review topics you are weak on from the ACS checkride standards

STARTING AT - $300

Instrument Proficiency Check

During an IPC, you will be expected to complete flight planning for a cross-country flight. We will then discuss the flight planning, weather, regulations, approaches, etc.
During the flight, we will have to see unusual attitudes, emergency procedures, handling of ATC, flight by reference to instruments, one precision approach, one non-precision approach, missed approach, and holding.
If you are not proficient with any item, we will have to retrain each item to proficiency.
