What makes us the best flight school in the Triad?

Meeting
  • We care about our students like family!

  • Your safety and success is our number 1 priority!

  • We have amazing instructors who will become your friends and mentors!

  • We maintain a great fleet of planes that offer a variety of features and instrumentation!

  • We operate out of PTI Airport (KGSO), which is a perfect training airport due to the nice runways and ATC experience you'll gain at a towered airport!

  • We have a private classroom and conference room to conduct ground lessons in!

  • We will not waste your time and money, but we will also not rush and compromise your safety and competency as a pilot!

  • We understand that every student learns differently, and at a different pace. We have a very structured syllabus that we use to ensure a consistent learning experience, but we can tailor that plan to meet each student's individual needs. 

  • All of our instructors spend time continuing their own education, and participate in activities such as "backseat flying", where they will fly along with another instructor and observe as they conduct a lesson. This helps build consistency in teaching styles.

  • We also perform "stage checks" with all students. This is when a different instructor will fly along with another instructor's student as they approach pivotal moments, such as their first solo. This is an extra safety precaution, that ensures at least 2 instructors have signed off on the student's ability to fly safely before proceeding to the next stage!

  • An added bonus to these stage checks, is that they help prepare the student for their check ride day when they will have a stranger flying with them. It helps build their comfort level and reduce the stress on check ride day.
