Directions from Ashland →Flight training for Ashland students
Superior Flying publishes its rates: Cessna 172s from $145 per hour wet, instruction at $85 per hour, and a $125 Discovery Flight — and how often you fly is the single biggest factor in what a certificate ends up costing.
- 01 Private Pilot LicenseWhere nearly everyone here starts. The certificate that lets you fly friends and family, and the foundation every other rating is built on.
- 02 Instrument Rating (IFR)The rating that turns a fair-weather license into a usable one: flying by reference to instruments, in cloud, on an ATC clearance.
- 03 Commercial Pilot License (CPL)The certificate that lets you be paid to fly — and the one our career-track students are aiming at.
- 04 Multi-Engine RatingA second engine, and everything that changes about how you fly — trained in our 1983 Piper Seneca III.
- 05 Flight Instructor (CFI/CFII)CFI, CFII and MEI — the ratings that let you teach, and the way most career pilots actually build the hours an airline asks for.
- 06 Endorsements & Add-onsFlight reviews, instrument proficiency checks and refresher training for pilots coming back after time away — plus the checkout you need before renting from us.
