life's
greatest
experience, there is nothing else like it.

Professional Pilot.

Professionals Incorporated,

Flight School in Chicago and one of the oldest Flight Schools
in the United States.
-
Learning how
to fly can be made easy if your instructor knows how to explain things in
simple terms.
-
For almost
five decades, we have refined our
training program so that it is one of the best in the world.
-
This is accomplished with our unique
copyrighted method called
“Attitude Flying”.
-
Attitude Flying
is achieved by having the student sit in the pilot’s seat while observing
specific exterior parts of the airplane and those relationships to either
the horizon, ground or runway. Those relationships will
instantly inform the pilot about altitude, bank, coordination and
airspeed control.
-
Our training
saves you money, time,
and
frustration while
making you a more knowledgeable, responsive,
efficient and safe pilot.
-
FAA states you must be able to
speak, read, write, and understand the
English Language.

airplane.
-
The
Flight Instructor
Certificate
means

towards for your career as a professional pilot.
-
The FAA states that before an
individual is allowed to fly on airplane by themselves, they must
pass a FAA Flight Physical. 1st class
medical is recommended.

The
medical examiner has concerns
that deal with Diabetes, Epilepsy, Heart Disease, history of Kidney Stones,
history of Drug or Alcohol Abuse, Emotional or Mental Disorders, Vision
Problems, Certain Levels of Hearing Loss, High Blood Pressure, or
condition that could impair your ability to fly an aircraft safely.
-
You can start
flight training before getting your Flight Physical
but you can not fly by yourself solo until you do.

your certificates are only part of what you need
to make a living as a professional pilot.
