FLIGHT TRAINING

It's time to get you up in the air. Now, we connect you with a local flight school to start your flight instruction.

CHECK RIDE

Tower Talk

Most student pilots (and even some current pilots) struggle to talk on the radio. With former air traffic controller of 33 years "Aloha Bob", AV8 created a live interview setting to go over every potential radio call you could make as a pilot, mistakes you could make and what ATC wants you to say in particular situations. In 3 hours of content, over 100+ potential radio calls are discussed in detail!
