We are thrilled to join you on this exciting journey. We have provided a checklist below to guide you through the necessary steps.
Let’s embark on this adventure together and turn your aviation dreams into reality.
1. Decide which training program is for you.
How often you fly not only determines how quickly you get your license, but saves you money as well in time not spent relearning things between lessons.
2. Visit an Aviation Medical Examiner
Visit an Aviation Medical Examiner to get your 3rd Class Medical Certificate and Student Pilot Certificate. Use the database on AOPA’s website to find one near you.
We recommend Dr. Brian Schroeder 806-743-2171
3. Set up your License and Medical
Your instructor will assist you in signing up through MedExpress as well as IACRA to get your private pilot student license as well as your FAA physical process started.
4. Set up your Renter's Insurance
As a rental pilot you are required to carry a Renter’s policy with at least $10,000 in hull coverage. We have partnered with Bullock Insurance to offer competitive rates. You can apply online at Bullock Agency website You can choose any insurance company you like, however you must provide proof of insurance within the first two weeks of joining.
