5. Learning to Fly: At A CPC We can get you from here…. …to here … efficiently and effectively!

6. So what makes an airplane fly? Bernoulli??? Newton???

7. MONEY!!!

10. How Long Will It Take? Typically 6 to 18 months of training can be expected before getting your certificate. This time can be more or less depending on how many lessons you will commit to each week. We suggest you fly 1-2 times per week. The more you fly, the less you will forget between lessons and the less money you will spend overall.

13. Cessna Flight Training System Required ground knowledge in easy-to-use home-study (computer-aided) format. Train at your own pace, on your own time. Complete coverage of subject areas plus in-flight video to show you how a maneuver is done before you get to the airplane. Complements the great instruction you’ll get from a CPC instructor!

15. What Kinds Of Airplanes?

16. What Kinds Of Airplanes? Our Cessna Pilot Center has a wide variety of aircraft for our customers, including: two-Cessna 172s, two Light Sport Aircraft, plus access to a technically advanced Columbia 400. Cessna 172s are the most common airplanes used by flight schools. Cessna 172s are also very common instrument training aircraft, as well as a very popular rental model. Learn to fly in a Cessna 172 and you'll be able to rent and fly from almost any fixed base operator (FBO) worldwide! Check all of our aircraft out at: www.takewinginc.com

17. Where Can I Fly? Short answer: Practically anywhere!!! Your certificate will let you fly during the day or at night (for a private pilot). You will be certificated to fly under Visual Flight Rules (VFR). There are some restrictions when the weather gets bad. You don’t have to stop here if your dream is to become a professional pilot!

18. Which Certificate Do I Get? SPORT PILOT = FAA min of 20 hrs ( 35-40, national average about 33 hrs at a CPC) PRIVATE PILOT = FAA min of 40 hrs (60-75 national average; about 55 hrs at a CPC)

20. Is It Safe to Fly? Cessna’s scenario based training provides you with required skills training plus decision making (risk management training) so you will feel the confidence to handle the situations you will encounter while flying—and not get into those you are NOT prepared for. General aviation airplanes are required to be inspected yearly by an approved FAA mechanic. TakeWING aircraft are inspected every 100 hours of operation.

21. Is TakeWING The Right Place You? Honor Respect Care for Reward No matter where you are along your flight path — our flight school provides you with mentorship and guidance from experts in the field of aviation. But more than that, TakeWING is a group of diverse, easy-going people from all walks of life who participate in aviation. TakeWING is a place where families and friends feel welcome and included — even if they don’t like flying! We are NOT an inhospitable exclusive “pilots only” club.

28. TakeWING Training We use the Cessna Scenario Based Syllabus. Your instructor will tell you what to expect each lesson. We use learner-centered grading – your instructor will spend time before and after the lesson to pre-brief and de-brief the lesson. You actively participate in this review.
