Fly One of the Safest GA Aircraft


We invest heavily to ensure our customers fly the very best and safest airplanes possible. Our training fleet consists of Cirrus SR Series aircraft (w/ Garmin Perspective+ avionics) which is the same aircraft airlines are choosing for their training fleets. Cirrus is one of the safest airplanes in GA and set pilots up to advance towards flying more complex airplanes and get ratings faster than learning to fly in legacy aircraft.  All of our airplanes are maintained by on-site Cirrus factory trained technicians in Long Island and New York City's Cirrus Service Center.

The Cirrus Aircraft Difference

Legacy training aircraft
Cirrus SR-20

When embarking on the transformative journey of becoming a pilot, the aircraft you choose for training is paramount. Traditional, older training aircraft may have served their purpose in the past, but in today's rapidly evolving aviation landscape, there's a clear frontrunner: The Cirrus SR-20.


Contrary to the aging designs of legacy flight training planes, the Cirrus SR-20 is a beacon of modern aviation. It seamlessly marries the advanced avionics seen in contemporary jets with the gentle handling of traditional training planes. This harmonious blend ensures that trainees are equipped with the latest in aviation technology while still benefiting from the tried-and-true handling characteristics crucial for foundational learning. This progressive approach has not gone unnoticed. From esteemed universities to major airlines and even the United States Airforce, the shift away from legacy aircraft to the Cirrus for both primary and advanced training is evident.
