Biennial Flight Review
Training Rate: $80.00/Hr.
"A flight review is not just a regulatory requirement; it’s an opportunity to sharpen your skills, reinforce your knowledge, and become a safer, more confident pilot."
It also ensures you're up to date on current regulations, airspace procedures, and best practices — helping you fly smarter and safer every time you take off.
