Professional Program I
Program Includes: Commercial License, Instrument Rating, Multi-Engine Rating, Certified Flight Instructor Rating, and Certified Flight Instructor Instrument Rating.
Prerequisite: Private License. Student may begin Professional I Program immediately upon achieving Private Pilot License.
Designed for the pilot who wishes to obtain Commercial License with Instrument and Multi-Engine ratings. The student will also be trained to receive the Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) and Certified Flight Instructor Instrument Ratings (CFII). Upon completion, the pilot is qualified to be a Flight Instructor in a single-engine aircraft and teach students to be licensed Private, Commercial or Instrument-rated pilots. These ratings are extremely helpful for the pilot who desires to advance his/her flight time and flight experience. The Diamond DA-42 and Piper Seneca PA-34 systems ground school prepares the student to operate within a complex, multi-engine glass cockpit environment, similar to what is being used in today’s advanced commercial aircraft. Aircraft flown includes the new Diamond DA-42 and Piper Seneca PA-34 twin engine, as well as the Cessna C-172SP and Decathlon 8KCAB.
The Professional I Program also includes the Unusual Attitude and Upset Recovery Training Course, which provides important training for students who plan to be professional pilots. It is a rigorous combination of hands-on maneuver-based and scenario-based training profiles which enhance flying skills. Most important, this course also improves the pilot's decision-making skills in emergency situations.
