FAA Gold Seal Master Flight Instructor Greg Collins, ATP, CSES, CFI, CFII, MEI, A&P IA - $45 per hour
Over 8000 hours of instruction given, with a 97% first time pass rate. Dozens and dozens of local references available. When you select an instructor, ask the instructor how many successful checkrides he or she has signed off in the last 6 months. Is your instructor full time and available 7 days a week to meet your schedule? Speak to the instructor's former students and verify how many hours they finished with, and how they feel about the training they received. The FAA minimums are quite possible with a highly experienced instructor and proper training.
I am happy to work with aircraft owner's at any area airport - Asheville, Hendersonville, Rutherfordton, Brevard, Transylvania, Greenville, Spartanburg, Jackson and Pickens County Airport.

NAFI Master Instructors go through a rigorous peer review every 2 years to ensure that the instructor is meeting the very highest standards in the industry.
Sport Pilot training is the least expensive, fastest, and most fun way to get started in aviation, and there is no need to maintain an FAA medical certificate.
The Aeronca Champ is one of the best trainers ever built, with thousands still flying. You will learn true stick and rudder skills that will make you the best pilot you can be.

Financing is available through Pilot Finance
Blue Ridge Sport Flight requires that all SOLO Champ renters carry "Non-owned Aircraft Insurance" at all times. Renter's insurance is NOT required when you are receiving instruction in the Champ. This insurance is very affordable, generally a little more than $1 per day, and readily available through Avemco, AOPA, and EAA. We can help arrange the insurance.
