Flight Training Courses
Build Your Training Plan One Certificate at a Time
Every pilot’s journey is different. Some students begin with the goal of flying for recreation or personal travel. Others are building the certificates and experience required for a professional aviation career.
FalKor Aviation Academy offers individual flight-training courses for every stage of that journey. Each course follows a structured syllabus and includes one-on-one instruction, progress tracking, preflight and postflight briefings, and clearly defined training standards.
Explore the courses below to find the next step in your aviation journey.
Sport Pilot
An accessible and cost-conscious way to begin flying.
The Sport Pilot Certificate allows you to fly eligible aircraft for recreation and personal travel while carrying one passenger. For many qualified applicants, Sport Pilot privileges may be exercised using a valid U.S. driver’s license instead of an FAA medical certificate.
Our program combines flight training in the Alpha Trainer LSA with structured ground instruction and a three-stage syllabus.
