During our flight lessons the learner will have the opportunity to practice and improve at their own rate of progress until proficiency to FAA standards are demonstrated in all required piloting exercises. When the time is right, a Practical Test recommendation will be issued, and the learner will be ready to apply for an airman certificate.
