Training at Austin Academy of Aviation
We believe that our students receive the best training available through
a structured "mission oriented" course that allows
for self-paced study. Ground school is available
via one on one study with your instructor or by a CD/DVD interactive home
learning program. Our Chief Instructor has 20,000 hours of flight instruction
experience and is on-site and available to students at any time.
We keep our planes in top operating condition so that you will never have to
worry about an interruption in your training because an airplane is not available
for you to fly. Our airplanes are all similar inside and out so that you won't
have the distraction of trying to figure out a new airplane while trying to
learn crucial skills. None of the planes in our fleet are more than five years
old and include modern conveniences such as GPS which allows you to learn how to
use the next wave of navigation and aeronautical technologies.
Learning to fly at Austin Bergstrom International Airport has advantages as
well. In flying from Bergstrom you will have a chance to interact with Air
Traffic Control on a regular basis. These communication skills are essential
for flying to many cities that you may want to visit as a Private Pilot. Pilots
who learn to fly at smaller airports often never get a chance to talk to Air
Traffic Control during their training and are at a disadvantage when trying
to fly to locations such as Houston, Dallas, or San Antonio where you must talk
with a controller.
We offer multiple levels of training:
Private Pilot - With your private pilot rating you will be able to fly day
or night so long as you avoid certain weather conditions.
Instrument Rated Pilot - Once you become an Instrument Rated Pilot you
can fly in weather conditions where you cannot rely on vision outside the
cockpit and must rely on your instruments to guide you to your destination.
Commerical Pilot - A commerical pilot can fly for profit with charter
operations, corporations, or as a Certified Flight Instructor.
Certified Flight Instructor - As a CFI you can train Private Pilots to fly.
Certified Flight Instructor, Instrument - As a CFII you can train pilots
as Instrument Rated Pilots.
We also provide specialized and continuing learning courses:
"Pinch Hitter's Course" - Let your loved ones learn the basics
of controlling an aircraft should you become incapacitated while flying.
Biennial Flight Review - Let us take care of your biennial.
Instrument Proficieny Check - Let us take care of your prof check.
Complex & High Performance Sign-off - Fly faster.
Emergency Procedures Refresher
Aircraft Systems Refresher
Instrument Pilot Refreshers - Refresh your knowledge of instrument
procedures, navigation chart interpretation and weather.
