Cessna 172 Skyhawk
The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is the world's most produced aircraft and the gold standard for primary flight training. Its forgiving handling, excellent visibility, and stable flight characteristics make it the ideal platform for students learning to fly. Our fleet of C172s is equipped with the Garmin G1000 glass cockpit — the same avionics used in modern commercial aircraft — giving students real-world experience from day one.

Piper PA-28 Cherokee
The Piper PA-28 Cherokee is our workhorse for instrument and cross-country training. Its low-wing design provides different handling characteristics than the C172, preparing students for a wider variety of aircraft they'll encounter in their careers.

Piper PA-44 Seminole
The Piper Seminole is one of the most popular light twin-engine training aircraft in the world, and for good reason — it's docile enough to be a great trainer yet capable enough to simulate real multi-engine operations. With counter-rotating propellers (eliminating the critical engine), it offers a balanced training environment. Equipped with Garmin G500 and dual GTN navigators, the Seminole prepares students for the complex aircraft they'll fly professionally.
| Engines | 2× Lycoming O-360-E1A6D (180 HP each) |
