Flight Training

Learning to fly involves the process of transferring decision making from the instructor to the new pilot. Along the way the new pilot develops the skills and acquires the knowledge to permit them to safely and effectively explore the adventure of flying.

One of the first skills the new pilot begins to develop is to evaluate whether they and their airplane are ready for today’s flight. The following checklists are used to aid in that evaluation.

The PAVE checklist guides the pilot in evaluating current conditions and abilities.

The pilot preforms a preflight inspection of the airplane to determine that it is airworthy.

Checklists are used for each stage of a flight to ensure that no steps are missed.
