Flight School | Learn to fly | Flying Lessons

Recently I have been working with the Flight School Association of North America, although I was a little skeptical for a while I have learned that they are really serious and the team works very hard!

Yes, we have been really silent about this new web site called AttendStar.  It is an event ticketing and event registration system that we will use to help aviation related events get attendees.

AttendStar is being used for International Learn to Fly Day which is being held May 15, 2010.  With over 300 venues and 800 seminars this is a really huge project.  However AttendStar has a great team of people behind it, including Kelly McNoldy the Operations Manager.  If you are interested in learning more about AttendStar visit web site or call them at (800) 526-3040.

We have been busy working on the new Learn to Fly Day website.  You should see it sometime around Feb 1st and schools we will able to sign-up in February.

Learn to Fly Day is May 15, 2010 however local learn to fly days will be help anytime from April 1 to May 15.  Free tickets to local events will be available online.

South Woodstock, CONNECTICUT / September 21, 2009 — Some say a Light-Sport Aircraft may fly great as a training aircraft but cannot possibly hold up to years of use by students learning the art of flying. Flight Design recently received proof showing the doubters are just plain wrong.

www.letsflysportcruiser.com  announced today a new Cooperative in Oshkosh whereby a share in the celebrated SportCruiser aircraft can be purchased for $2900 down and flown for $31 per hour wet. Flight training is also available. The SportCruiser is a two-place aircraft certified for sport and recreation.

Flight Schools interested in seeing the REMOS GX and learning more about the REMOS Pilot Center program are invited to request a visit from the REMOS demo pilot in your area.  The Remos GX is the top selling light sport aircraft in the US.

The FAA is proposing several changes to the pilot, flight instructor, and pilot school certification rules.

One proposal would allow future pilots to apply for a private license and an instrument rating at the same time. Other proposals would require pilot in command (PIC) proficiency checks for pilots who act as PIC of single-pilot, turbojet-powered airplanes, as well as revise the definition of a ‘‘complex airplane.''
