N460LA · over the San Gabriel foothills Five programs, one standard.
All taught one-on-one. The FAA sequence runs Private, then Instrument, then Commercial, then CFI.
01 Private Pilot Certificate Where almost everyone starts. You fly the Cirrus SR20 from your first lesson and earn the certificate that lets you take family and friends.
Flown in the Cirrus from your first lesson, one-on-one with your instructor.
Two lessons a week gets most people there in three to four months.
Start with a discovery flight.
02 Instrument Rating (IFR) The rating that makes the airplane useful on a schedule: through cloud and weather, on the Garmin panel you’ll fly for years.
Approaches, holds and real weather, flown in the Cirrus.
Practice on our Cirrus simulator between flights.
One-on-one, at a pace that fits your week.
03 Commercial Pilot Certificate For pilots who want the next level of precision, or to fly professionally. Flown in the Cirrus.
Commercial maneuvers, flown to commercial standards.
Builds on your instrument rating.
Add multi-engine in the Duchess when you are ready.
04 Flight Instructor (CFI · CFII · MEI) Become an instructor, or add a rating, with people who hold them and teach every day.
CFI, CFII and MEI.
The MEI is flown in the Duchess.
Call us and we will tell you which fits where you are.

Training built around you
3–4 months to your certificate, part-time, around a full calendar. Your schedule and the full cost come in writing after your discovery flight.
Brief

Your time in the air over the San Gabriel foothills.
Debrief
What happened, what went well, and what the next lesson sets up.
