Flight School at DoubleDay Aviation in Greenville, SC

At DoubleDay Aviation, we like to refer to flight school as “becoming a pilot,” which is the ultimate goal. We offer seamless ground and air training and reasonable prices to obtain instruction. Flight school typically starts in the classroom. Students study aerodynamics, aviation regulations, weather, navigation, aircraft systems, and safety procedures. DoubleDay also offers a Cirrus flight simulator in the building. Trainees often practice on simulators to develop basic flight skills and familiarize themselves with cockpit instruments without the risks of flying an actual aircraft. After mastering ground knowledge and the basics of a flight simulator, students take exams to demonstrate their understanding of flight knowledge.

After ground school comes introductory flights. Beginners often start with introductory flights alongside certified flight instructors to gain experience in a real aircraft. After learning alongside our experienced flight instructors, trainees can start taking dual flights. Dual flights mean that students train with an instructor onboard, learning takeoff, landing, basic maneuvers, and emergency procedures. While this process can take a while, the trainee will eventually work their way up to their first solo daytime flight, followed by a daytime flight around the East coast, and eventually their first night flight.

DoubleDay Aviation offers pilot training on our current small jets and can help certify you to become a small private pilot operator. Once mastering your craft and becoming a solo private pilot, we can always refer you to a commercial flight instructing program to further your practice.
