​Can I start flying right away?  How long does it take to get my license?

Currently, there is a wait list. Time to start flying could be between 2-4 months. We have certified instructors ready to start your training when the wait list clears.

Yes currently certified pilots can join the club and rent the airplanes for use. There will be a mandatory check ride conducted by one of our instructors.
