FLIGHT TRAINING

Are you ready to lean to fly

DISCOVER (INTRO) FLIGHTS

Interested in learning how to fly but not sure where to start? First, try a Light Sport Discovery Flight! After a basic preflight briefing, spend about 30 minutes in the left seat of a light sport airplane (LSA) under the guidance of Johnathan Smith, (LightSport Man) a Certified Flight Instructor – Sport (CFI-S).

Take off, perform basic maneuvers, and land. The flight time can be logged!!

FLIGHT TRAINING

Do you already know how to fly or are you just starting out? If you are looking into learning more about flight training in a Light Sport Aircraft (LSA), then you should go to a CFI that does it full time. Let’s get you into the left seat of a Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) under the guidance of Johnathan Smith (LightSport Man) a Certified Flight Instructor – Sport (CFI-S).

ADVANCED GROUN TRAINNING

Getting some ground training is always a good thing. For every hour you have flight training, you should have a minimum of 2 hours of ground training. Ground training is one of the most over looked tasks of learning to fly, but it should not be!!  LightSport Man is an Advanced Ground Instructor (AGI), so you can receive ground training from him. Think about it…..think about all the necessities and requirements you should be learning, reviewing, and understanding, and the benefit it would be to have an Advanced Ground Instructor (AGI) work with you.

THE LIGHTSPORT MAN STORY

CLIENT TESTIMONIES

EVERYONE RECOMMENDS LIGHTSPORT MAN,
SEE WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY!

Below is what some of the clients are saying about LightSport Man…

Steven F. – “John’s flying experience, dedication and education was priceless when I needed help on my FAA Written Exam. His training was top-notch and I would recommend him to anyone wanting to fly or in need of a Ground Instructor.”

***

Bobby S. – “Hi, Johnathan, Today was my first “ground” lesson with you. I thought this was going to be hard to understand or even worst too much confusion. But I was mistaken, not only did you make it simple to understand and follow, but your teaching methods were able to put me at ease and your words into a vivid imagination for me to comprehend.
I would recommend to all those that would like to learn to fly LSA (Light Sport Aircraft) or better known as “sport” flying, to take a Ground Course with Johnathan.  Just like driving, one has to know all of the markings (signs) of the road, one needs to learn FIRST the markings (signs) of the skies. It makes flying easier.
Ground school will give you a better confidence to master the skies and be a safe pilot.  I like to thank you, Johnathan, for being a great Gound Instructor!
Your student pilot”

Juan G. – “Flying with John was an amazing experience, not only is he professional but he has such a passion for this activity that it is contagious!! I Highly recommend him!!”

***

Stacia H. – “Johnathan, otherwise known as Light Sport Man, is an extremely compassionate guy who truly cares for his students education. Johnathan is very detail-oriented and isn’t in a hurry to get up in the air, but instead ensures that safety is instilled as the #1 factor in all flying. Johnathan is great with kids, also. He takes the time to explain things on a level that kids understand. Johnathan is also humorous so that he makes you laugh. He makes anyone feel at ease when in his presence. You are guaranteed to leave with a smile and feeling confident in all that Johnathan has taught you. He is a blessing, truly!”

***

Rod H. – “I met Johnathan in early July 2015 and I could not be happier.  I have always wanted to learn to fly.  Learning all the ground school to the ‘fun” flights.  Johnathan is a very good teacher and I’m looking forward to ‘earning’ my license to fly with him”

***

Eddie W. – “Johnathan Smith is Great, he is friendly, and supportive during the instruction”

***


Billy T.
 – “Learning to fly is not something easy to do, but Johnathan Smith made it easy to understand and also fun”
