Blue Skies Above Acquires a New TAA Plane
We are thrilled to announce the latest addition to our fleet at Blue Skies Above Flight School—a brand new Technically Advanced Aircraft (TAA), the Cessna 172. This state-of-the-art aircraft represents a significant upgrade in our training capabilities, allowing us to provide even more and advanced flight training to our students.
What is a Technically Advanced Aircraft (TAA)?
A Technically Advanced Aircraft (TAA) is a General Aviation aircraft equipped with advanced technology that significantly enhances flight operations. A TAA combines some or all of the following design features:
- Advanced Cockpit Automation System: This includes Moving Map GPS and a Glass Cockpit, which are essential for both IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) and VFR (Visual Flight Rules) operations.
- Automated Engine and Systems Management: These systems simplify the monitoring and control of the aircraft’s engine and other critical systems, making flying more efficient and less stressful for pilots.
- Integrated Auto Flight/Autopilot Systems: Autopilot capabilities allow for automated flight control, which is particularly beneficial during long flights and complex flight operations.
We upgrade our fleet so you can upgrade your pilot training
What is a TAA Used For?
TAAs are primarily used for advanced pilot training and cross-country flights. The advanced systems in these aircraft allow pilots to gain experience with modern aviation technology that is increasingly common in today’s aviation industry. Training in a TAA prepares pilots for flying more complex aircraft and enhances their ability to operate safely in a wide range of conditions.
At Blue Skies Above, our new Cessna 172 TAA will be used to provide our students with hands-on experience in a technologically advanced environment. This experience is invaluable for those pursuing careers as commercial pilots or for those simply looking to improve their piloting skills.
