Learning to fly at 
    
Chicago Midway Airport is invaluable
		   
    
In the Unites States, all major cities that have airports, will have Control 
    
Towers
		  
		  To 
    
be able to utilize all the airports, in addition to knowing how to fly an 
    
airplane, you also have to know how to communicate with the air traffic 
    
controllers
		  The 
    
controls towers have controllers responsible for the efficient and safe 
    
movement of all aircraft traffic on and around an airport
		  
		  Training 
    
at API will teach you the proper procedures to communicate with the 
    
air traffic controllers and radar controllers
		  An 
    
airport that has a control tower creates an extremely safe, and 
    
efficient environment because there is an additional staff of individuals 
    
coordinating the flow of traffic
		  
		  Smaller 
    
airports do not have control towers so it is very difficult to understand 
    
and practice your communication skills with air traffic controllers
		  Learning 
    
to fly at Midway Airport gives you the confidence to use other major 
    
airports because you are well versed, and familiar in using proper radio procedures                                                                                                                                               Ground
