In today's "instant" world, people want to get from point A to point B in the least amount of time possible. Or maybe it's more about when you were younger and used to see airplanes flying on a beautiful day and said to yourself, "Someday I'd like to fly one of those!" Well, why not take the opportunity to learn how to fly?
Mt. Hawley offers modern, up-to-date flight instruction in a fun and professional atmosphere. Instruction begins with the basic climbs, turns, and maneuvers. When you've completed the number of hours required, you'll be flying solo. After additional training and hours, you'll be ready to test for your Private Pilot Certificate, and the sky's the limit.
Ground school consists of instruction and class discussion on basic aerodynamics, aircraft systems, flight instruments, regulations, procedures and airport operations, weather, aircraft performance, enroute flight, communication procedures, and navigation. Ground school class consists of two evenings per week and lasts nine weeks. The next class begins this fall.
Mt. Hawley also offers charter service. Chartering can be just as efficient-and sometimes more so-as flying a group on a commercial airline.
