Discovery Flight
A scenic one hour flight around San Diego where you’ll be allowed to take the controls of an airplane and experience what it’s like to fly as a pilot.
Private Pilot (PPL)
Whether your goal is to fly for the airlines, or just for fun, every aspiring pilot begins their training with the Private Pilot Certificate. This is aviation 101, where you’ll learn the basics of aviation and create a foundation for future training.
Instrument Rating (IR)
Weather like clouds and fog are common. The IR allows you to fly through the clouds by reference to the instruments inside the aircraft. In marginal weather, being instrument rated provides a huge boost in confidence and safety.
Commercial Pilot (CPL)
The gateway certificate to becoming a professional pilot. A CPL license allows you to be legally hired and paid to fly. Aspiring professional pilots will go on to earn their multiengine airplane rating and additional type ratings to fly larger aircraft like jets.
