Direct-to Pilot Academy

At Direct-to Pilot Academy LLC, we offer multiple training services to suit your aviation needs.  Begin your journey to becoming a pilot with a discovery flight, sharpen your stick and rudder skills with some tailwheel training, or elevate your flying with a high performance endorsement, giving you access to a multitude of new aircraft. 

High Performance Endorsement

Our academy offers High Performance endorsements in our beautiful PA-32-300 (Piper Cherokee 6).  Experience the next level of flying with a 300 HP engine, a GTN 750 and Dual G5s, and a JPI EDM 700 engine monitor.  

Discovery Flight

Discovery flights are a perfect way to introduce you to the joys of flight.

Our discovery flights last roughly 1 hour (30 minutes of flight time) and you will learn about how to preflight the aircraft and the basics of flight. One of our instructors will then take you to the skys where you will become the pilot and take the controls! 

If you are looking for life’s next exciting challenge or a special gift for that adventure seeker in your life, this is the perfect place to start at only $140 per flight.

Tailwheel Endorsement Package
