CESSNA PILOT CENTER ADVANTAGE
Cessna's reputation is second to none. With 80 years of aviation excellence, safety and progress Cessna is the worlds leader in general aviation. Choosing to train at a Cessna Pilot Center (CPC) is the best decision any student pilot can make. Cessna Pilot Centers are required to meet and maintain extremely high standards of operations in both safety and
pilot training.

Cessna Pilot Center advantages include:
Cessna's Computer Based Instruction (CBI) is the flight school only standardized integrated curriculum that delivers training consistently worldwide with Private, Instrument and Commercial courses available.
Exclusive access to the only computer-based student record management system that tracks progress of pilots every step of the way.
Instruction in new and well maintained Cessna Flight School Aircraft.
Faster completion times and higher success rates which saves money and produces better pilots. Accelerated Flight Training is our specialty.
Exclusive student loan programs that can make learning to fly affordable on a modest budget.
Up to 50 College Credit hours though Mountain State University

With all of the Cessna support behind each Cessna Pilot Center, such as special aircraft financing, insurance, global marketing programs, field-based seminars, and training managers, its little wonder that more people have learned to fly at Cessna Pilot Center's than anywhere else. Cessna Pilot Center's really do teach the world to fly. Recently, an independent company rated the Cessna Skyhawk 172 and Cessna Skylane 182 the safest flight training airplanes EVER constructed. Horizon Flight School utilizes these flight training aircraft in our training and are required as a Cessna Pilot Center to keep these aircraft within Cessna maintenance standards.

Horizon Flight Center is the ONLY Part 141 Cessna Pilot Center within 100 miles of Chesapeake, VA.

WHAT IS A DISCOVERY FLIGHT?
Horizon Flight Center Graduate - Kim Beckman

Safety is Paramount...

“On our first date, we listed our top three interests. Flying was at the top of both of our lists. Seven lucky years later with baby in tow we made good on our promise. Learning to fly with our family made safety paramount. The reputation of Cessna, their Cessna Pilot Centers and the proximity of Horizon Flight Center facilitated our choice of flight schools. We decided that we would go on a Discovery Flight together and include our daughter. We enjoyed ourselves immensely, so we began our journey. Since we were both obtaining our private pilot's license we would back seat on each other's flights to increase our learning time.

The Cessna Pilot Center kits were really easy to use, they could be done conveniently at home and it was fun to study together. The most important part of our experience was our instructor. His professionalism and attention to detail completely alleviated my safety concerns. I wanted my daughter to experience the flight lessons so she could become used to flying immediately. Her demeanor and my instructor's expertise allowed my daughter to join in all of my instructional flights. The experience we gained by learning to fly has not only been beneficial for my husband and I but also our daughter. She has learned about flying from the age of three and gained a perspective on discipline. We have since completed our instrument rating and began work on our commercial pilot's licenses. The places we've gone, experiences we’ve had and the knowledge we’ve gained have changed our lives forever for the better."

“So what do you want to accomplish in 2009, I asked him?” Asked Mary White, a current Horizon Flight Center Student. Our relationship was barely a year new. “I want to get my pilot’s license; I’ve always wanted to fly,” he said. Hmm, I thought, what an interesting thing to try. “Try” was the operative word for me. Sure I had an athletic and adventurous spirit but, my personal script also included the lines: make a good plan, save for a rainy day and safety first. OK, I vowed, age 40 and ambitions to rule the world have come and gone for both of us, so let’s give this a shot! The first “try” came in the form of a birthday gift to him: 10 flight lessons and I would take them as well, ack!

I began thoroughly researching flying and evaluating local flight schools. My search kept leading me back to HORIZON FLIGHT CENTER. I found a superb level of professionalism, experience, organization, safety and customer/student focus as well as an outstanding variety of training programs and fleet of aircraft. My first conversation with Brian Hough was terrific. He tolerated my rather probing and obsessive set of questions and over the course of our 30 minute conversation, I had moved from, “what the heck are you thinking, this is nuts” to . . . “this sounds terrific and these folks know what they are doing.”

The Cessna Pilot Center ground school videos allow us learn and while maintaining 2 work schedules and households. Since HORIZON has numerous Cessna, 172 4-seat aircraft, we do most of our flights “together” with one flying and one watching. This is a great way to reinforce learning. Our biggest challenge came when it was apparent we had diverse learning styles and were progressing at different rates. I am more the “rock” vs. the “eagle” student and find it important to know all the details and practice frequently while Mr. Eagle took more naturally to the feel of the plane in flight. Our instructors, Kyle and Brian, accommodated our differences and worked with us to find the right fit.

Our most exciting part of our training was the cross country (with instructor) to the Bahamas (pic). We flew from our quiet “home” regional airport and safely discovered the amazing world of aviation. Today, we have only 3 flights left; then we test to get our Private License. We envision flying as a permanent part of our lives now and plan to move on to get our IFR ratings. We appreciate all HORIZON has provided and willingly pay for the many “extras” and comprehensive types of training a Part 141 school and it’s instructors offer.

My advice? Take a discovery flight with HORIZON and find out what’s waiting for you “in the air.”
