TRAINING FIT

Our school review.

America West Flight Training Academy is worth comparing for a plan that extends beyond introductory flying. Its published options allow you to discuss later qualifications as well as your immediate goal; request a separate scope and budget for each stage you intend to take.

A written estimate should identify the aircraft, instructor charges, ground lessons, testing and allowance for additional practice. Confirm delivery at Hurricane before relying on a provider-wide course menu.
