It’s hard to imagine a multi-engine trainer with more safety features and trusted construction than the low-wing Piper Seminole. The standard for transitioning from single to twin-engine flying, the Seminole opens up possibilities for mastering more maneuvers in the air for the aspiring pilot. It has a sleek, modern avionics suite and two Lycoming engines for impressive performance in high density altitudes.

Piper Arrow
The Piper Arrow is a 4 seat low wing aircraft with excellent handling qualities. Designed to be the easy transition from pilots transitioning from a standard aircraft trainer to a sophisticated complex aircraft with controllable pitch propeller. It maintains comparable handling qualities to other Piper aircraft and provides the pilot more performance for a shorter flight duration or the capability to handle a larger load at longer distances.
Piper Archer III
A beauty of a plane in a cross-wing landing, the Piper Archer’s chief difference is its double-tapered wing and wider wingspan. The aircraft also has better visibility in the pattern and a horizontal stabilizer, making the aircraft fly straight. Transitioning from a Cessna 172 to an Archer is fairly easy as both planes share common flight characteristics, although taller students find the slightly bigger space in the Archer’s cockpit slightly more comfortable.
Cessna 150
The two-seat, high wing single engine airplane is an outstanding aircraft for flight training with excellent handling qualities. The wings are positioned above the fuselage rather than below it, providing greater visibility for the pilot and their passenger. Overall, excellent for the new flight student or the experienced pilot wanting to increase proficiency at a lower cost.
Cessna 172 Skyhawk
The four-seat, fixed-wing Cessna 172 Skyhawk is the top-rated single-engine flight training aircraft in the world. One reason is its elegant design. The wings are positioned above the fuselage instead of underneath it, providing greater visibility. Simple to control, the glass cockpit gives the Cessna Skyhawk a pleasurable feel in the air and measured landing speed. It’s perfect for students passionate about aviation.
