Flight Test Prep Academy
A better, more efficient way to train.
Welcome to Flight Test Prep Academy! Established in 2007 as Aviation Summer Camp, our family-run business has evolved into a premier flight school with a fleet of ten planes. Our modern aircraft lineup includes Cessna 172s, featuring both traditional 'round gauge' instrumentation and advanced G1000 avionics with a flight director. We also offer three Cessna 152s, one of which is an Aerobat model. Safety is our priority, which is why all our planes are equipped with added features such as ADSB In and ADSB Out.
Learning to fly an airplane is an exciting journey that combines ground school instruction with practical flight training. In our comprehensive ground school program, you'll receive classroom instruction covering the theory of flight, navigation, meteorology, and aircraft systems and procedures. This knowledge forms a solid foundation for your flight training, where you'll receive hands-on instruction from our certified flight instructors in real aircraft. Our instructors are FAA-certified, ensuring that you receive top-quality training that meets rigorous standards.
We understand that your time and financial investment are valuable. That's why our course curriculum is designed to optimize both. We integrate simulator training into our ground school, allowing you to practice and reinforce your skills before taking to the skies. This approach reduces the overall cost and time required to obtain your pilot's license. While others may require 70 or more hours of flight time, we aim to have you ready for certification with just 45-50 hours of flight training, well below the national average.
At Flight Test Prep Academy, we are dedicated to providing efficient, high-quality flight training that prepares you for success. Whether you're pursuing a career in aviation or fulfilling a lifelong dream of flying, our experienced instructors and state-of-the-art aircraft will guide you every step of the way. Join us and embark on an extraordinary journey towards becoming a skilled and confident pilot.
