At Airborne Systems Flight School, learning to fly is not as hard as you might think. In fact, each year thousands of people from all walks-of-life learn to fly. Today there are more than 750,000 active pilots in the United States. Most of these pilots hold a private pilot's certificate, which is a student pilot's first goal.
    Airborne Systems has graduated hundreds of private pilots in the last 12 years. Many of them upgraded their ratings to higher levels and some are even working for major airline companies. Others are content with the private pilot certificate, which permits them to fly and carry passengers on a non-commercial basis virtually anywhere in good weather. No matter what your career will be in aviation, the Private Pilot License (PPL) is your first step.
