Dear Future Pilot,

As a Cessna Pilot Center, we will train you using the most advanced computerized training material in today's aviation market, allowing you to learn quickly and retain a higher level of understanding.

At our airfield, we believe we have an advantage over our neighbors due to the fact that we have an un-towered airport allowing you to be in the air faster, therefore not spending your rental time taxing and waiting on the ground for other traffic.

Below you will find information about the approximate cost of your freedom, the minimum hours required by the FAA, price breakdowns, and school programs.

We sincerely thank you for this opportunity and look forward to guiding you through your new and exciting adventure. Please feel free to call us at 727-461-5229 with any questions.
