Flight Instruction

Interested in learning how to fly — or increasing your current skills? The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires you meet specific criteria in order to earn a pilot’s certificate. MacAir Aviation offers flight instruction to help you gain the knowledge and skills needed to succeed.

Regardless of which pilot certificate you pursue, your program will include:

• Ground school, which prepares you for the written knowledge test.

• Flying with an instructor, which prepares you for the practical skills test.

We also offer Cirrus Training from our Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilots (CSIPs).

Part 141 Flight Training Program

As a Part 141 flight training program, we offer private, commercial, instrument, and air transport pilot certificates, as well as a certified flight instructor rating certificate, under FAA-approved syllabi. That means you'll gain knowledge and skills from highly experienced, helpful instructors — and have a lot of fun in the process.

Private Pilot Certificate

With a private pilot certificate, you may fly in good weather conditions (called VFR or visual flight rules). You may carry passengers and baggage, but you may not fly for hire; operating expenses must be equally shared with your passengers.

Instrument Rating

With an instrument rating, you are able to fly according to instrument flight rules (IFR) — in other words, you are able to fly when the weather is poor.

Commercial Pilot Certificate

The commercial pilot certificate allows you to fly for hire as part of a Part 135 operation.

Multi-Engine Pilot Certificate

The multi-engine pilot certificate allows you to fly airplanes with more than one engine.

Air Transport Pilot Certificate

Take the next step in building your qualifications on the path to being an airline pilot with a single-engine ATP. To learn about next steps, contact us at 937-581-6865.
