We are thrilled to announce the newest addition to our training fleet: a Technically Advanced Aircraft (TAA), the Cessna 172. This modern upgrade reinforces Blue Skies Above’s mission to offer cutting-edge training for aspiring pilots at every level.
What Is a Technically Advanced Aircraft?
A TAA is equipped with modern avionics and automation systems including glass cockpit displays, moving map GPS, integrated autopilot, and automated engine and system management. These features help prepare students for today’s aviation technology while offering enhanced safety and operational capabilities.
Why We Chose the Cessna 172 TAA
The decision to add this aircraft was driven by our commitment to preparing pilots for real-world flying. As the aviation industry evolves, so must flight training. The Cessna 172 TAA provides our students with firsthand experience using the tools and systems they’ll encounter in modern aircraft, especially in commercial aviation settings.
How Our TAA Enhances Training
This aircraft will be used for advanced training scenarios and cross-country flights. Whether you’re pursuing your commercial certificate or building time toward your CFI, this TAA provides the ideal environment to develop both confidence and technical skill in a modern cockpit.
