	  experience, there is nothing else like it.

		  Aviation 
	  Professionals Incorporated, 
	  also known as "API", is the only 
	  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

		  There are 
		  four certificates that you 
	  must obtain 
	  to become a professional pilot. 
- 
		  
		  
		  
		  
		  The 
		  Private Pilot Certificate 
	  means that you are qualified to fly and airplane and take passengers with 
	  you. 
- 
		  
		  
		  
		  
		  The 
		  Instrument Rating means you are certified 
	  to fly the airplane solely by reference to the flight instruments without 
	  having visual contact with the ground. 
- 
		  
		  
		  
		  
		  The 
		  Commercial Pilot Certificate 
	  means that you can legally be compensated for your ability to fly an 
	  airplane. 
- 
		  
		  
		  
		  
		  The 
		  Flight Instructor 
		  Certificate 
	  means 
		  that you can 
	  be paid for your teaching skills while building additional flight time 
	  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.

		  In the real world having 
		  
		  your certificates are only part of what you need 
	  to make a living as a professional pilot.

		  API has the 
		   
		  
		  
		  expertise to groom you to become a professional career pilot.  
		  Other schools just teach you how to acquie 
		  your certificates. 
- 
		  
		  
		  
		  
		  Future employers are looking to see if you 
		  
		  have 
		  situational awareness, clear
	  	communication skills, have the 
	  ability to remain calm under pressure, 
		  have 
		  self-confidence, 
		  the 
		  desire to learn,

	  attention to details, and have
