PLAN AROUND THE PLACE

Make your local search useful.

Start with the actual training airport and the trip you can repeat each week. A school’s listed city is a helpful starting point; its airport may be outside the city center.

Our North Carolina collection currently includes A-B Tech Community College in Asheville, with Asheville Regional Airport (KAVL) listed as its training location. Read the profile’s source notes, then confirm your course and location directly.

Ask before you commit.

  • Which airport and aircraft would I train in?
  • Can we build a repeatable lesson schedule around my availability?
  • Does my chosen course use Part 61 or Part 141, and what is included?
  • Can I use an outside online ground school with this program?
