We are committed to give you the best possible
training tailored to your very own needs. A time tested curriculum
will allow you to learn quickly and efficiently at your own
pace. With the use of our AST Hawk simulator you will be immediately
introduced into IFR flying fast and cost effectively. |

|
| FIRST STAGE OF TRAINING: |
With the use of our simulator you will learn
the basic skills to control the airplane only by reference
to instruments. At the end of stage one you know what it takes
to fly in Instrument meteorological condition, or, in short “IMC”. |
| |
|
| THE SECOND STAGE: |
In this stage you will be introduced to fly
the various instrument approaches, such as ILS VOR’s
and NDB’s, as well as holding patterns and their entrance
procedures. At the same time you learn how to operate in the
ATC System. |
| |
|
| THE THIRD STAGE: |
Now you will learn how to plan and execute an
IFR cross-country flight, consult for weather briefings, collect
all other data to make an informed decision of go/nogo. You
will execute different approaches at different airports without
ever looking outside, using all available radio aids such as
VOR’s, NDB’s and GPS. |

|
| REQUIREMENTS TO TAKE THE FLIGHT TEST: |
After you have completed all stages you will
have received training and endorsements in accordance to CFR
