Core policies
These are the standards we use to keep training consistent, safe, and predictable.
Scheduling & Attendance
Consistency matters. A steady rhythm keeps you progressing and reduces re-learning time.
- ✓Train consistently (weekly is ideal).
- ✓Arrive early for briefing and preflight.
- ✓Bring required materials (logbook, headset, study items).
- ✓If you’re running late, communicate immediately.
Cancellations & No-Shows
Last-minute changes impact aircraft and instructor scheduling. Clear rules protect everyone’s time.
- ✓Provide as much notice as possible if you must cancel.
- ✓No-shows may be billed (aircraft + instructor time reserved).
- ✓Frequent last-minute cancellations slow progress significantly.
- ✓If weather is questionable, contact us before departing.
Weather & Safety Calls
Safety decisions are never negotiated. We train to professional standards, not pressure.
- ✓Weather calls prioritize safety and training value.
- ✓If conditions are not safe or not productive, we reschedule.
- ✓We may convert to ground training when flight is not advisable.
- ✓Students are encouraged to ask questions and learn the “why.”
Ground Training Expectations
Progress comes from preparation. Flight time is most effective when the ground work is done.
- ✓Show up prepared for the lesson objective.
- ✓Complete assigned study before flight sessions.
- ✓Use briefings and debriefs as part of training—not optional extras.

We operate like a professional environment. Respect, discipline, and safety culture apply to everyone.
- ✓Respect instructors, staff, and fellow students.
- ✓Follow airport rules and safety procedures at all times.
- ✓No unsafe behavior on the ramp or around aircraft.
