Upgrading Your Skills and Proficiency
At First Landings, we offer an array of Advanced Training options as well as multi-engine ratings added to Pilot and Commercial Pilot Certificates. We can provide advanced training towards your Instrument Rating, Commercial License, CFI, CFII, Multi-Engine, and MEI. We also offer Familiarization “Pinch-Hitter” Training. Your flying companion can be a tremendous asset. With training, they can make your flying safer, easier, and more enjoyable. The Pinch-Hitter course includes basic instruction in aircraft control, navigation, and radio usage.
Adding Requirements and Instruments
First Landings Aviation offers Instrument flight training in our Piper Cherokee aircraft. If you’re a Private Pilot looking to become a safer and more proficient pilot, then earning your instrument rating is the next step. An instrument rating is one of the more difficult training courses because it demands a higher workload and precise aircraft control with references solely by instrumentation; however, it is recommended that every pilot get their instrument rating to become a safer, more experienced pilot while enabling the pilot to utilize the aircraft in more adverse weather conditions.
At First Landings Aviation, our pilots will teach you how to perfect your skills of instrument flying by flying in actual weather conditions. We’ll also help you to keenly understand the factors for making a go/no-go decision.
Our instructors have experience in almost all weather conditions, and we encourage students to gain that experience with us before attempting it on their own voluntarily or involuntarily. Our aircraft and planes are equipped with both standard instrumentation as well as “glass cockpit” instrumentation that enhance situational awareness. We encourage students to share time in the aircraft while building time to both practice Crew Resource Management and to keep their costs to a minimum.
