Our Aircraft
Career Pilot School’s fleet is made up of single and multi engine, “conventional” aircraft. We do not believe in training students to fly Technically Advanced Aircraft (glass panel), as the transition from “steam gauges” to “glass” is a very natural progression, and one to be done on the equipment you will be hired to fly.
The aircraft types we utilize in our training programs are the Piper Twin Comanche, the Piper Warrior, the Piper Archer, the Piper Arrow, and the Cessna 152. All of our aircraft are equipped for day, night, and instrument flight. Our fleet is meticulously maintained to the highest possible standards by our maintenance facility. We are always looking to expand the size of our fleet to meet our growing student demands. You will not find a nicer fleet of “conventional” aircraft anywhere.
