Trade Winds Flight School's Private Pilot program is the foundation for anyone wanting to learn how to fly! This 3-4 week course will take a "zero time" student to being a fully certified pilot. Trade Winds Flight School is a family owned and operated flight school that tailors its schedule around the most important aspect of flight instruction -- THE STUDENT! We have been training students for over 30 years and we know that in order for a student to succeed, that student's needs must be met and they must be made comfortable in every aspect of their training. This holds true from accommodations all the way through the end of the check-ride. From day one, you will immediately feel at home at our flight school. 

What to expect from your training:

1. Individual training or buddy training - Its up to you!

2. A relaxed atmosphere and a true sense of confidence.

3. A fully beneficial yet relaxed training syllabus - Quality training at affordable prices. No phase checks, no gimmicks.

4. FAA Designated Examiners - We use the same examiners "the big schools" use and we have a 95% first-time pass rate!
