Experience

  • Only a few schools in the country can boast they have been training pilots for over 5 decades
  • API trains both Private Pilots and Professional Pilots to become Instrument Rated Pilots.
  • We can boast that our students are taught to fly instruments in some of the world's busiest airspace.
  • We have hundreds of thousands of hours of experience with our programs

                                                                    Simplicity
  • API' training is based the copywrited procedures called CST and the 6 T's.
  • The CST procedure stands for CONTROLS + SCAN + THROTTLE.
  • The pilot uses hand and foot CONTROLS to get the airplane to fly as desired.
  • The pilot uses a SCAN of flight and navigation instruments to stay on course.
  • The pilot uses the THROLLE to make desired airspeed adjustements when needed.
  • The 6 T's is a systematic mental checklist so the pilot confirms all IFR procedures have been performed.
  • API's training procerdures work universally for the private, commercial and airline pilots.
                                                   Location
  • Learning to fly at Chicago Midway Airport is invaluable
  • In the Unites States, all major cities that have airports, will have Control Towers
  • To be able to utilize all the airports, in addition to knowing how to fly an airplane, you also have to know how to communicate with the air traffic controllers
  • The controls towers have controllers responsible for the efficient and safe movement of all aircraft traffic on and around an airport
  • Training at API will teach you the proper procedures to communicate with the air traffic controllers and radar controllers
  • An airport that has a control tower creates an extremely safe, and efficient environment because there is an additional staff of individuals coordinating the flow of traffic
  • Smaller airports do not have control towers so it is very difficult to understand and practice your communication skills with air traffic controllers
  • Learning to fly at Midway Airport gives you the confidence to use other major airports because you are well versed, and familiar in using proper radio procedures
