PLANES THAT PREPARE YOU FOR THAT FIRST JOB

Old work-horses that serve the industry

There are some nice new aircraft out there in the training market these days; sleek, plastic, sexy-looking machines that attract new students. Unfortunately, they are not what your employer will be flying when you go to get that first job. When you start work as a pilot you will be asked to fly a homely Cessna – so that’s what you should learn on. An employer doesn’t want to have to teach you how to fly his equipment, he expects you to be able to get in and go!

That’s why we at Vital use the Cessna 172 (4-seater) for training. After learning on this aircraft, there is no further training required to fly the Cessna 180, 182, 206 etc. used for entry-level jobs in the aviation industry.
