Learn to Fly
No aviation background? Good — that's where we start. Training follows a simple path, one milestone at a time, at a pace that suits you.
One hour at the controls with an instructor beside you. You fly the aircraft — we simply make sure you do it properly. It counts towards your licence, too.
Around 45 hours of flying combined with ground school: handling, navigation, radio and theory. Most students complete it over months of regular weekend flying.
The moment every pilot remembers for the rest of their life. Then it's on to navigation, qualifying cross-country and your skills test — pilot in command.
The runway at Rochester waits for yours.
