This course will prepare students to take the Federal Aviation Administration Private Pilot written examination, while providing training that can be credited toward a private pilot’s license. Potential pilots will “fly” state-of-the-art computer simulators, using the latest interactive flight training software. They will fly the aircraft in all situations including takeoffs and landings.  Many students supplement their flight training with private lessons, earning their private pilot’s license while still in high school.
