We have taken delivery of a Special Light Sport Aircraft, and we are the only flight school in the area offering an aircraft for Sport Pilot training.

The Atec Faeta is the perfect combination of speed, technology, simplicity, and efficiency.

It is available for sport pilot and private pilot training, and rental.

The Training

We have created a two-week accelerated Sport Pilot training program. Cost for the course is $3428.00. Additional hours if needed to complete the program can be purchased at ($99/hr). Ability to complete the program within two-weeks and 20 flight hours depends on the student's preparation and ability. Our other training programs have proven to us that while there are many variables, it is possible to complete pilot certification in the minimum hours in an accelerated training program.

The table below shows what we believe will be the minimum hours required for the rating. We won't set a price for a guaranteed rating, because each student is different. Based on the success of our other accelerated courses, we do feel that a prepared and motivated student may be able to complete the course in the minimum time frame.

The Atec is an easy aircraft to fly, and a lot of fun with it's huge clear bubble canopy that provides great visibility. Unlike other canopy aircraft, the Atec has a great ventilation system that prevents overheating of the occupants on warm days. Come out for a demo flight and discover how much fun flying is all over again.

Rental rates are $99/hr. Instruction is $50/hour, and is charged for the time the instructor spends with the customer, not just flight time. Call or email us for details on this program. (More details below)

Sport Pilot's are not required to have FAA medicals, the driver's license is the only requirement. Existing pilot's can get a make and model checkout and begin flying right away. Non-pilots will need to obtain a Sport Pilot Certificate, which requires a minimum of 20 hours of training.
