Safety

All of the aircraft used for flight training are low airframe time planes which are precisely maintained to ensure the utmost safety and top performance. The primary aircraft used for flight training is a Piper Warrior, a four seat - single engine aircraft. The Warrior is a highly reliable and safe aircraft to train in because it is extremely stable and very forgiving. All of our aircraft are meticulously maintained by FAA certified mechanics who conduct routine inspections on all parts of the aircraft. Every inch of the aircraft is inspected and maintenance is never deferred.

Customers Come First

The right attitude is everything in Flight Instruction. While flight training is fun and enjoyable, the training can sometimes become difficult and frustrating. Since the world of aviation is so new to many beginning pilots, it may take a little longer for certain portions of the training to make sense. At Sunbelt Aviation, our instructors realizes the difficulties students have and work with them to overcome any obstacle they may encounter during their training. Part of our job as flight instructors is to keep the student motivated throughout the entire training process and ensure completion of the program. This is why Sunbelt Aviation has a much lower drop-out rate than the nation average.
