Biennial Flight Review
Our professional instructors will work with you for your biennial flight review.
The goal of the review should be established prior to beginning the review. We will make sure that you understand all the elements of the oral and practical portions of the flight review prior to initiating the review.
For the purposes of the flight review, you can either rent one of our airplanes or you can have the flight review conducted with your own airplane. Please call us for more details.

Instrument Proficiency Check
Nail your IPC with AOA.
There are two sets of rules for flying any aircraft: VFR and IFR. VFR stands for Visual Flight Rules and IFR means Instrument Flight Rules. Depending on the weather conditions, a pilot may opt for one set of rules or the other.
Knowledge is key to safe instrument operation, but it needs to be much deeper than the ability to recite rules and regulations. Scenario-based training is a very effective way to test a pilot's knowledge in the context of real-world IFR flying.
