Professional Pilot Training from Daedalus Aviation

This four-hour course is designed to help the pilot remove the rust from skills that may not have been used recently. If it has been a while since you’ve practiced with the navigation aids, or you’ve come in contact with some of the newer equipment, you may not be as sharp as you once were. We can fix that! In addition to a review of the various navigation aids you’re likely to come across, we’ll discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each device. Finally, you’ll plan a cross-country flight then execute that flight on the simulator.

Sounds pretty simple, doesn’t it? Of course, things might not go as planned. As always, the weather is ever changing, aircraft problems can crop up, and even navigation aids can fail. Rest assured, the next actual cross-country trip you take you’ll be prepared for anything and everything!
