Advanced Ratings and Licenses

Becoming instrument rated opens up so many opportunities and offers a chance to become a more precise and safer pilot. No longer will you be grounded on days when the clouds are too low for visual flight.

You will learn how to operate based solely on the instrumentation in the cockpit, and dealing with the new level of Air Traffic Control interaction that comes about when operating under IFR (Instrument Flight Rules).

Flight training is done in our new Skyhawk or Skylane aircraft. Our aircraft are all equipped with the latest G1000 radios and avionics (including GPS receivers). You'll practice controlling the aircraft by reference to its instruments, navigating en route by navigation aids, and practice approaches to airports.

To start instrument training, the Private Pilot Certificate and a third-class medical are required.

Are you ready to take the basic skills you learned as a private pilot to the next level? Are you considering one of the diverse careers in the aviation field, such as flight instruction or flying for the airlines? If so, the commercial pilot's license is the next step for you.

Becoming a commercial pilot means much more than the ability to fly for compensation. There is a focus on gaining a comprehensive understanding of aircraft systems, performance, aerodynamics, and improved airmanship/aeronautical decision making. Along with the basic maneuvers you have learned as a Private Pilot, you will also practice chandelles, lazy 8s, and 8s on pylons. All of this you will learn in a complex category aircraft, the Piper Arrow (PA-28R), which sports retractable landing gear and a controllable pitch propeller.

» Be at least 18 years of age.
» Hold at least a private pilot certificate.
» Have at least 250 hours of flight time, including: 100 hours of pilot-in-command flight time (including 50 hours of cross-country flight), 20 hours of flight training for the CPL, 10 hours of instrument training, 10 hours of complex aircraft flight time and 10 hours of solo.

Cindtronix currently operates a high performance Cessna 182 and a complex Piper Arrow. Additional flight and ground instruction in the aircraft's operation and systems is required in order to fly these aircraft.

As a flight instructor, you experience the joys of teaching others how to fly. Not only will you learn more about aviation than ever before, but you will also learn how to effectively transfer this knowledge to your students.

» Be at least 18 years of age.
» Hold at least a commercial pilot certificate or airline transport pilot certificate.
