Our Courses
Understanding that each student pilot is unique, our tailored approach ensures personalized guidance throughout your training. From your initial flight with a CFI to advanced training in instrument and commercial, we're committed to your success.
To become a pilot, you must undergo training which involves flight time where you'll learn how to fly the plane and execute manuevers. You'll also need to complete ground training where you'll study weather, regulations, aerodynamics and more. Pilots first start out with their private pilot certificate and then move on to more advanced ratings and certifications depending on your goals.
After completing training, you'll need to complete your exams to become a certificated pilot. There are three main exams you'll need to satisfactorily complete: The medical exam, the written test, and the practical exam. When you fly at Blue Skies Above, you'll get one on one mentorship with one of our CFIs (certified flight instructor) that will guide you through every step of the way. Start today and let's start flying!
