Continuing Education Seminars
At Premier Flight Academy good pilots become great pilots by participating in our highly-focused training programs. We strongly believe that it is very important to continue the learning process beyond the checkride. Along with our traditional training programs, we encourage you to sign-up for one of our structured continuing educational seminars.
Pinch Hitters Course
This course is intended for pilot spouses, friends and significant others, or for anyone who has thought about becoming a pilot but doesn't know if it is right for them.
Our experienced Ground School Instructor Ms. Patty Austin teaches this well-established course, which includes explanations of aerodynamics, aviation instruments, radios, and chart reading. Landing the plane will also be discussed.
The basic course lasts 3 weeks, and is taught on either Saturday mornings, or weeknight evenings. Pressed for time? We've added a Condensed Pinch Hitters Course, covering the very basics on one info-packed Saturday.
Call the office to sign up for either version of this informative, interactive and fun class!
