Introductory Flights
"You haven't seen a tree until you've seen it's shadow from the sky..."
- Amelia Earhart
Flying brings a whole new perspective to the way you see the world. The best way to find out whether flying is for you... is to take a flight! You and your instructor will board our Piper Cherokee 140 for a short hop around Belfast and the surrounding bay. You'll get to handle the controls of the airplane, and get a taste of what it is like to be a pilot.


Private Pilot's License
ab initio - Latin, "from the beginning"
Congratulations! You've caught the bug! Now that you've dipped your toes, it's time to start learning. The private pilot curriculum will introduce you to the broad world of aviation. You'll learn about the many necessary areas to become a safe and competent pilot, including navigation, meteorology, aircraft systems, aerodynamics, and aircraft control. Upon completion, you'll be eligible to test for your Private Pilot's Certificate.
Additional Certificates and Ratings
Private pilot is just the starting point! We offer the following advanced flight training:

Instrument Rating
The instrument rating is typically the next step that private pilots take to advance their training. The instrument curriculum prepares you for taking the Instrument-Airplane exam, and becoming qualified to fly in all types of weather.

Commercial Certificate
Take your first step towards an aviation career! The Commercial Pilot's Certificate enables you to be paid for your services as a pilot, and furthers your skills through advanced manuevers and navigational exercises.

Certified Flight Instructor
Most commercial pilots will move on to flight instruction as the first step in their aviation career. Besides helping to qualify pilots for advanced careers, flight instruction polishes your skills as an airman and allows you to help shape the next generation of pilots.
