You can train in a couple of different ways: (Foreign nationals click Non US Citizen) Full Time- We are FAA 141 certified and compliant. (The FAA boys audit our curriculum.) Course work is clarified in a training outline. Day to day sessions are measured more strictly. This benefits full time students flying at least three times per week who probably have an eye on a pilot career and/or want to "get it done". Part Time- You just want to simply learn to fly, get your license in your time. Perhaps you have a full time job and can only make it down to the airport once a week or so. Maybe you just want to try something new. We are here to work with your schedule. Flying around volcanoes in the middle of the Pacific Ocean is cool, but it does require skill and smart airmanship. Our school, the island, and your hard work will combine to make you into nothing short of a real “Stick & Rudder” pilot. Visiting Pilots & Intro FlightsSee our Hawaii Flyers page.

It has an 11,000-foot runway and a complex of facilities at the eastern edge of the airfield for arriving and departing passengers, air cargo and mail, airport support, and general aviation operations. Hilo- PHTO Known as General Lyman Field prior to 1989, Hilo International Airport occupies 1,391 acres about two miles east of Hilo, on the eastern shore of the island of Hawaii. The airport’s primary runway (8-26) is 9,800 feet long and is used principally for air carrier operations. Crosswind Runway 3-21 is 5,600 feet long and is used mainly for general aviation operations.
