Who hasn’t looked at the clouds and wondered what they looked like up close? Who hasn’t watched birds soaring through the air, seemingly held aloft by some magical force, and not longed to know what that might be like? And, who hasn’t wanted to be transported from one place to another without the hassle of the stop and go, so common to daily life—almost as if being in a time machine?

All of this can be yours when you become a pilot. You be in charge of where you go, when you leave and what you see!  We can help with all of your training needs, whether you want to become a Sport Pilot, Private Pilot, or Commercial pilot, plus any ratings you would like to add including the very useful Instrument Rating.

Federal regulations have recently changed making it much easier for non-pilots to obtain a specific type of pilot’s license – the Sport Pilot license.  With your Sport Pilot certificate, you can fly airplanes in the Light Sport category (LSA) with some restrictions.  Because of these restrictions, you can become a safe and confident pilot without a big commitment of time or money.  An added benefit is that LSAs are very economical to fly.  In fact, most are as economical as any subcompact car you’ll find on the road today.  

Getting your Private Pilot license requires a bit more time and investment, but you also have fewer restrictions than the Sport Pilot.  The good news is that you don't have to decide right away -- training you do toward your Sport Pilot can easily be transferred towards your Private Pilot certificate.

To give you an idea of the costs involved, here are the estimates for the Sport Pilot and Private Pilot certificates through Sea and Sky : 

You don’t have to be Chuck Yeager or a “rocket jockey” to be a great pilot. All you need is the curiosity and motivation to learn something new that will change your life.

It all starts with that memorable first flight. Our affordable Fun Flights give you a taste of what its like to fly a plane all by yourself in and around the beautiful north bay for about 12-15 minutes. For a bit more time in the air, choose the Exploration Flight where you'll spend approximately 25 minutes over San Francisco bay gaining a whole new perspective! Fun Flights may be converted into Exploration Flights mid-flight. If you are having too much fun and want to stay up the full 25 minutes, we'll just need to make sure the folks behind you won't mind the wait. Buy them for yourself or send them as gifts to friends and family.

Flying can be even more fun when shared with friends! Get a group together for back-to-back Fun Flights so you can watch each other take off and land followed by a group picture on the ground.

Fun Flights and Exploration Flights are fully refundable before the flight and have no expiration date.

So what are you waiting for? Let's go flying!
