Training path

Go straight to your current stage.

Each section combines the most useful official references with the specific skills and decisions we will focus on during training.

01

Student pilot

First milestone

First solo

Foundations

Build consistent aircraft control, traffic-pattern judgement, radio discipline, go-around decisions, and safe independence before flying alone.

Training focus
  • Preflight preparation and aircraft documents
  • Normal, crosswind, and go-around procedures
  • Emergency procedures and sound judgement
02

Private pilot

Certificate

Private pilot training

VFR mastery

Turn basic aircraft control into complete flight planning, navigation, airspace management, weather judgement, and passenger-carrying competence.

Training focus
  • Cross-country planning and diversions
  • Performance, weight and balance, and limitations
  • ACS-level knowledge, risk management, and flight skills
03

Instrument

Rating

Instrument training

IFR systems

Develop disciplined instrument flying, procedural awareness, weather judgement, clearance management, and workload control in the IFR system.

Training focus
  • Attitude-instrument flying and automation management
  • Clearances, departures, arrivals, holds, and approaches
  • IFR weather, alternates, fuel, and missed-approach decisions
04

Commercial

Certificate

Commercial pilot training

Professionalism

Refine precision, energy management, aircraft mastery, aeronautical judgement, and professional consistency beyond private-pilot standards.

Training focus
  • Commercial maneuvers and energy management
  • Advanced systems, performance, and operational decisions
  • Professional briefings, standards, and self-evaluation
05

Recurrent

Stay sharp

Flight reviews & proficiency

Continuous learning

Keep legal currency separate from genuine proficiency and use recurrent training to address the risks, missions, and aircraft that matter to your flying.

Training focus
  • Scenario-based decision-making and risk management
  • Emergency, abnormal, and proficiency work
  • Instrument currency, flight reviews, and WINGS activities
