Take your flying skill to the next level. Pilots seeking their P3 or P4 certification and who have met the USHPA requirements can schedule a training session with us for evaluation and testing.

We'll go over the USHPA requirements with you, review your logbook and evaluate your kiting / spot landings to ensure you have the skill to safely launch and land more advanced flying sites.
