30 Day
Accelerated
Primary Pilot Course
Overview
Learning
how to fly an airplane and having a pilot's certificate to
fly to distant cities, day or night, with friends and family
is one of the greatest joys in life!
Surprisingly, learning to fly is far easier than many people
think. In fact, with proper flight instruction
combined with a modern, glass cockpit aircraft, you can
obtain your private pilot's certificate in as little as 30
days! The only requirement is that you commit to just
a few hours a day, four days a week for just one month.
A word
of caution . . . accelerated learning is only effective if
it is combined with immediate application of newly acquired
knowledge and skills in the days and weeks following such
learning. Thus, pilots completing accelerated training
are encouraged to fly frequently immediately following this
training.
Training philosophy
There
are two basic aspects to flight training. One aspect
is the acquisition of sufficient knowledge and skills to
pass the FAA check ride and acquire the rating. Any
flight school or independent CFI-I can fulfill this aspect
for you.
The
other and far more compelling aspect of pilot training is
developing sufficient knowledge, skills, and aeronautical
decision making (ADM) ability to safely
operate year-around in the national airspace system.
Bob
Miller Flight Training, Inc. specifically addresses this
second aspect of flight training. Our student pilots
are afforded opportunity to train in real world conditions
including challenging crosswinds, turbulence, and in the
clouds. Much of this training is provided while on
long cross-country flight to distant airports of the
student's choice.
Training aircraft
We use
2005 Cessna 172SP training aircraft. Each meticulously
maintained aircraft is equipped with Garmin G1000 glass
panel cockpits. Additional features include uplink XM
weather depictions, traffic, and terrain avoidance equipment
plus autopilots and leather seats!
Insurance
Bob
Miller Flight Training, Inc. students are fully insured for
liability and property damage insurance coverage when
accompanied by one of our certificated flight instructors.
This insurance extends to our solo flight students and
renters with a $1,000 deductible. This deductible
compares favorably to many other flight schools that impose
a $25,000 deductible.
