11-DAY SPORT PILOT PROGRAM  
Tuesday through the following Friday (with Sunday OFF) 

 

It would probably take an entire website to describe all that is contained 
within this unique in-depth, comprehensive PPC course.  There is a link below 
to the syllabus for the course that will give you a run-down of the ground 
school subjects and flight tasks.  But for here, suffice it may be to say, that 
we believe that after the 10-day training program, you will have more 
information and understanding of PPC flight, to not only comfortably pass your 
FAA written & Flight exams - but more importantly to be a safe powered 
parachute pilot for a long life-time). [11-Day SP Syllabus]

 

Also, if a class is currently filled, you are welcome to ask to be put on to our WAITING LIST.  However, you may want to consider purchasing our "PPC SP 
Training Manual" now - cause it is mandatory to have read the manual on DVD 
before your class.  Credit for the purchase of the manual will be applied to 
your class cost.

Note: If you have a group of 3 or 4, will can usually custom schedule a 11-day class to fit your schedule!
