Private Pilot Class
Welcome to Top Flight Aviation "Private Pilot Class" on the Web. This course will help you prepare for both the Private Pilot Written Test and the Private Pilot Flight Practical Test. Our main goal is not to just prepare you for the tests, but to give you the information you need to be a safe and responsible Private Pilot. So, if you are already a Private Pilot looking to refresh your skills, this class is the right place to be.
This web site will augment the classroom material and give you sessions to work on during the week between classes. This will not only help reinforce the material we cover in class, but help you to get the most from your investment in this training.
This course is intended to improve your piloting skills and teach you to be a responsible Pilot. We will provide the environment to learn about aircraft systems, weather, cross country navigation, and finally, filing your own flight plans.
Welcome to the World of Flight.
