Training
Pilot Proficiency
Our goal as a club is to make flying available, affordable and ensure safety by facilitating ongoing flight proficiency and training for all our members. Member certified flight instructors and pilots are available for:
- Flight Training
- Safety Flights
- Checkouts / Flight Reviews
- Introductory Flights, and more.
Whether you are a pilot, rusty pilot, or learning to fly, pilot proficiency increases overall flying safety.
Instrument Training
You can fly in weather conditions and navigate using only instruments. Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) training is not required, but is the natural next step after you are licensed to fly.
An Instrument rated pilot has the ability to fly thru or above clouds, or in fog, rain, dust and other low-level (IMC) weather conditions.
The SPAFC's Cessna 172 Skyhawk is IFR certified.
Safety Training
The Safety Officer of the SPAFC works with AOPA, EAA, FAA and local CFI's to facilitate monthly safety seminars and webinars that Members and guests may attend (typically no fee). A few recent examples are:
- AOPA Rusty Pilot's Seminar
- FAA Safety Team Seminar
- SPAFC webinar: 'Weather Hazards'
See our Events Page for more safety session information.
