Flying an Airplane
is one of
life's
greatest
experience, there is nothing else
like it.
-
You are part of an
elite group of individuals who have the knowledge
and physical skills to be an
Airplane Pilot.
-
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 explaine 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 visual relationships to
either the horizon, ground or runway. These relationships
instantly informs 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.
-
The FAA states
you must be able to
speak, read, write,
and understand the English Language.
-
Over
30 years ago, the “FAA”, Federal Aviation Administration,
created regulations about flight hours, knowledge and skills levels to
become a Private Pilot.
-
After the
terrorist attack of September 11, 2001, the FAA had to review their thinking.
Flight
schools were being blamed for teaching the terriest how to fly, which
was not the truth.
-
The
FAA regulation stayed the same,
but the knowledge and skill level demanded by eash person was raised.
-
The
national average is now over
8O hours
of flight time. API’s training
is designed so you are able to acquire your Private pilot
certificate with less flight hours then the national average.
-
To obtain your
Private Pilot Certificate, you must
pass a
FAA
flight physical,
knowledge
exam,
oral exam and
flight
exam.
-
The FAA states that before an
individual is allowed to fly on airplane by themselves, they
must obtain an FAA Flight Physical
from an approved Medical Examiner.
-
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 other condition
that could impair your ability to fly an aircraft safely.
-
You can start
flight training before getting your FAA Flight Physical
but you can not fly by yourself solo until you do.
-
Training can be accelerated weather permitting.
-
