Flight instructors · PAS Flight Training

Experienced flight instructors for one-on-one pilot training in your aircraft

Every PAS course is delivered one-on-one by a senior instructor with airline, corporate and charter experience, approved by major aviation insurers across the United States. We offer Pilot initial and annual recurrent training in your own aircraft, at your home airport.

In your aircraft

Ground school and flight training are delivered in the aircraft you fly, with your avionics, at your home airport.
