Frequently asked questions

How do I best prepare?

Maintain flexibility:  the DO and FLY parts are subject to equipment availability and weather conditions so your schedule may change.

Be adaptable:  Your instructor can modify the training exercises based your progress and needs while still maintaining course objectives.

Plan ahead: Bring your pilot certificates, medical, logbook, flight gear, and anything else your instructor requests for the DO and FLY
parts.

How long is the training?
As they say in general aviation, it depends.  Typically the DO and FLY parts can be accomplished over a couple of days but the FLY part is weather dependent.  However, the DO part can be accomplished in any conditions and the SoCal climate generally favors good year round flying weather.
How much does it cost?

The LEARN part (Part 1) is fixed at $149. The DO and FLY (Parts 2 & 3) are based on the published hourly rates of the training resources (e.g., flight simulator, airplane rental, fuel), the instructor, and the estimated amount of time required to complete each of these parts based on the pathways that you take.

Can I use my airplane?
Yes, provided that it is acceptable with your designated expert trainer and appropriate for the course syllabus.  Although using an airplane with which you are familiar is a benefit, your airplane may not be suitable or approved for all the maneuvers in this program.  Check with your flight instructor.
Other types of training?
CP Aviation specializes in Emergency Maneuver Training (EMT) as well as aerobatic instruction and tailwheel training.  Aviation Instruction at KCMA offers instrument training in their FAA approved Redbird MCX.  Consider adding on more training while you're there.
Where will I be training?

Your visualization and in-airplane training will take place at Berkshire Aviation (KGBR) with Jason Archer.

Where is this available?

We plan to expand to other parts of the country once we establish a firm foundation at each of the three Centers.
