Flight Training Programs
Our Programs are Designed to Equip You with the Necessary Skills and Knowledge to Excel in the Aviation Industry.
We offer a comprehensive range of flight training programs, including Private Pilot License (PPL), Instrument Rating (IR), Commercial Pilot License (CPL), Certified Flight Instructor (CFI), and customized transition courses.
Besides offering modern facilities we also utilize technologically advanced flight simulators such as the RealSimGear SRX Simulator and the Redbird TD2 Flight Simulator.
Instrument Pilot Program
Earning an instrument rating allows pilots to fly safely in a wider range of weather conditions (such as flying through clouds) by relying on instruments instead of visual cues. The FAA requires a minimum of 40 hours of flight training under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) to achieve this rating.
Flight Instructor
Becoming a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) is an excellent step for pilots looking to gain extensive flight experience while teaching others to fly.
As a CFI, you’ll help train students of all levels, conduct flight reviews, lead proficiency checks, and facilitate ground training sessions.
Flight Review
Keeping your flying skills sharp and ensuring your certifications are up-to-date are essential parts of responsible piloting. At SEFT, we offer comprehensive Flight Reviews, Aircraft Checkouts, and Instrument Proficiency Checks (IPC) to help you meet FAA requirements, maintain proficiency, and increase your confidence in the cockpit.
DISCOVERY FLIGHTS
The Best Introduction to Your Pilot Training is to Take a Discovery Flight
On your discovery flight, you’ll get the chance to get your hands on the controls! Your instructor will guide you through the required pre-flight inspection and prepare the aircraft for flight. Then, with the help of an instructor you will get to fly the aircraft.
