Learn to fly! STAGE 1 of the complete professional pilot course.

This is the first step in your aviation career!  Becoming a private pilot will allow you to build time towards another rating, fly for fun, or give rides to your friends.  This stage is also suited for those who desire to own an airplane for personal use.

During this stage you will be instructed on the basics of airplane flight.  In the first phase you will learn basic flight maneuvers and procedures and solo the aircraft; this could be one of the most exciting flights you ever take!  You will then refine your skills in preparation for your practical exam.  Along the way you will also gain knowledge in and experience navigation and cross country flight planning.    

Learn to fly in the clouds!

Ever wonder how airline jets can fly in the clouds with zero visibility, cover vast distances and then end up at their exact destination?  This is done only by reference to the instruments in the aircraft.  This stage of flight training is much like chess; every move is strategically planned out.  Learning how to do this is a vital skill that will make you a much safer, more confident and more employable pilot.

Get paid to fly! THIS COURSE IS BUILT AROUND THE INSTRUMENT, CFI and CFII  PILOT COURSE'S.

Getting paid to fly may be your dream, with a commercial license your dream could become a reality.  During this stage you will become prepared for the practical demands of professional flying and qualified to fly most of the commonly-used civilian airplanes.  Many advanced maneuvers are introduced and all skills are sharpened.  Additional detail and depth regarding a pilot’s ground knowledge will also be taken to the next level.

The major expense on this course is the solo time to bring the pilot's hours up to 250 hours total time. This can be accomplished in many ways but to show a price we have expressed it as solo in the Cessna. Feel free to contact Specialized Aviation for a consultation on the many options avalable to a pilot.

Specialized Aviation offers commercial airplane training over the Monterey Bay area. This region is perfect for commercial and IFR training in that it offers ease of departure from our uncontrolled airport unlike San Jose, Reid Hillview, Oakland, San Francisco, San Carlos, Palo Alto, Hayward, Concord, Livermore and Napa airports.

Our Mooney MSE is the perfect commercial training airplane due to its low operating costs, retractable gear and familiar flight characteristics. The new commercial student is also going to have not only a great aircraft and training environment but also a top quality facility to learn from. Specialized Aviation offers a comfortable study oriented facility with most of our instructors coming from the airline industry and commercial back grounds.

" Pilots looking for quality aircraft, maintenance and very experienced instructors are looking for Specialized Aviation."

Learn to teach!

Usually a pilot’s first job in an enjoyable career in aviation is as a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI).  This position will allow you to build valuable experience while possessing a very rewarding (and sought-after) job.  The flight instructor program will take you from the role of a student to a responsible, competent instructor.  As an instructor you will teach both ground and flight lessons.  You will also learn to be an effective communicator, motivator, and educator.

Learn to teach in the clouds!

Take your flight Instructor career to the next level and become an instrument instructor (CFII).  Because the FAA requires at least 10 hours of instrument flight training for all commercial pilot applicants, many flight schools have found it necessary to hire CFII instructors. Going the extra mile and becoming a CFII will make you a much more qualified and employable instructor, allowing you to teach both VFR and IFR courses.
