ABOUT US
Every flight school says their program is "the best" and "safe" and "high quality training". So if everyone is the best, how can you choose? Well it comes down to what is the best for you. Here are a few things that set us apart, and we encourage you to come check us out to see for yourself if it's a good fit.
- AFC is conveniently located at the Colorado Springs Airport, making it accessible to a variety of locations on the Front Range.
- We are the only flight school in Colorado that offers both fixed wing (airplane) and rotor (helicopter) training in the same place.
- We employ instructors with real commercial experience in aviation who are passionate about teaching, and not just building hours toward another job.
- The high-altitude environment here is challenging, and you'll leave with not only an edge over other professional pilots, but also the confidence to make appropriate decisions and manage each flight safely. If you can fly here, you can fly anywhere!
PILOT TRAINING
Our flight school programs are a little different. We want you to be a competent pilot without breaking the bank! We respect both your time and money, and are committed to the task of training to a high standard and accomplishing your goals as close to the minimum required hours as possible. The Colorado skies serve as a dynamic classroom where aviators are forged. Our pilot training in Colorado Springs embraces this benefit and combines it with detailed on-ground educational opportunities.
When you train with AFC, you are entering into a partnership with your instructor and your new aviation community to accomplish that task. We tend to ask a little more of our students in terms of at-home online ground school, reading, and homework in order to make the best use of your time while in the aircraft, thus maximizing your experience while minimizing your operational costs - all without compromising quality. Learning to fly is often one of the more challenging and rewarding experiences of one's life. We are committed to walking that path with you. AFC is your portal to the skies. Join us for an unforgettable journey where the adventure of pilot training is just the beginning.
