Directions from AshlandFlight 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.
Private Pilot License
Where nearly everyone here starts. The certificate that lets you fly friends and family, and the foundation every other rating is built on.
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.
Commercial Pilot License (CPL)
The certificate that lets you be paid to fly — and the one our career-track students are aiming at.
Multi-Engine Rating
A second engine, and everything that changes about how you fly — trained in our 1983 Piper Seneca III.
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.
Endorsements & Add-ons
Flight reviews, instrument proficiency checks and refresher training for pilots coming back after time away — plus the checkout you need before renting from us.
