We limit the beginner class size to no more than 2 new students per instructor per day. The program will include intense ground handling, exercises in meteorology, video, general discussion and simulator training. 2-meter radios are used for flight training. Tandem instruction is used when necessary. Before purchasing equipment take a few lessons and develop a relationship with your instructor.
Most instructors rely on repeat business and referrals.
Although shopping for the best prices seems prudent, don't forget the value of maintaining the local instructor who helps safeguard the local sites and continuously upgrades techniques and knowledge. Temporary price savings for you may ultimately take away from your future in the sport.
