A NEW RED CARDINAL RECORD🚨🚨

Huge congratulations to our student Sam on completing his FIRST SOLO at just 16 years old!

Sam has officially set a new Red Cardinal Aviation record, reaching his first solo with only 10.6 hours of flight time!

A huge credit goes to his instructor, Christian, for the training, preparation, and dedication that helped Sam reach this milestone.

Sam’s accomplishment is also a great reminder to young future pilots: you don’t have to wait to start chasing your aviation goals. You can begin flight training at any age and solo an airplane as early as 16 years old.

The sooner you start, the sooner you can start building your skills, experience, and future in aviation.

Congratulations, Sam and Christian, on setting a new Red Cardinal milestone!

FIRST SOLO! 👨🏻‍✈️

Huge congratulations to our student Leo on successfully completing his first solo flight!

There’s nothing quite like the moment you take the airplane up for the first time with an empty right seat. An unforgettable milestone and a big step forward in Leo’s aviation journey!

Big credit to his instructor, Viraj, for the training, guidance, and preparation that got him to this point.

Congratulations, Leo! Next stop: checkride!

“So… how does an airplane actually land?” 🤔

A simple question, answered by one of our CFIs. Sometimes the best lessons start with the basics.
