Learn to FLY!

Learn to FLY!

Here at Muncie Aviation, we offer flight training for students new to aviation as well as certified pilots looking to advance their skills by adding an instrument rating or earning a commercial certificate. Our in-house CFI/CFII conducts FAA part 61 flight training for Private, Instrument, and Commercial pilot applicants in our 2023 Piper Pilot 100I training aircraft.

Whether you are learning for fun, to save time in travel, or to start your career in aviation, learning to fly will enrich your life in countless ways. As the primary base of your aviation career, the private pilot certificate will allow you to act as Pilot in Command (PIC) of single engine airplanes once you have received the appropriate training, ratings, and endorsements. This certificate allows for operations in both day and night conditions under visual flight rules and the carrying of passengers in private applications, but not for compensation or hire.

Once you have earned your private pilot certificate the next step in your aviation career is earning an instrument rating. An instrument rating provides the skills needed to fly without visual reference to the ground, except during taking off and landing. This will help you to become a safer and more proficient pilot while allowing you to fly in the clouds.

Flight training required for certificate:

A commercial pilot certificate allows pilots to fly for compensation or hire. With a commercial pilot certificate, a pilot can conduct aerial photography or surveys, conduct skydiving operations, tow banners, crop dust, and more! Commercial pilots with instrument ratings can fly corporate aircraft, pipeline and power line patrols, ferry airplanes, and in some applications conduct aircraft charter operations (with additional requirements per FAA part 135).
