At Big Sky Aviation LLC our flying instruction is geared toward your safety and learning. We use either a Drifter or a Flightstar 2 seat trainer which is very well maintained and like-new. There is no other distracting aircraft traffic in the area. Preflight and post flight ground school discussions are included at no extra charge. Landings are taught with the engine at idle to gain confidence and skill at gliding-in.
Safety is the first priority.
Typically students starting from scratch can be ready to solo with an average of 10 to 15 hours of flying instruction. With previous flying experience the time to be ready to solo is usually less. You set your own pace of instruction. Satelite photo of the airstrip taken winter 1999 Children age of 9 and above are welcome for lessons and usually are great students. This can be a family activity and is a good way to introduce flight to kids.
