Turn your dreams of flying into a reality with Superior Flying Services! At Superior Flying Services, we have FAA Certified Flight Instructors who can help you realize your dreams. Listed are a few of the many advantages of learning to fly with us.
We provide personalized flight instruction that will tailor the learning process to your needs
Training is scheduled around your availability and at a pace at which you are comfortable with. As with learning any new skill, the more frequently you train, the less you will need to relearn as you progress. We recommend you schedule a lesson at least once, preferably twice, per week.
Our instructors can provide all different types of instruction from private pilot and instrument to commercial. We also provide proficiency training in biennial flight reviews, instrument proficiency checks and refresher training for pilots who have flown in the past but need to brush up on their knowledge and primary flying skills again.
