The Pilot Place's Upcoming Events

CFI Academy

1224 Clyde Jones Road. Sarasota, FL 34243

The Pilot Place is pleased to announce our CFI Academy. The CFI Academy is designed to build fundamental knowledge and develop teaching skills. The FAA has already certified that you are a competent commercial and instrument-rated pilot; our job is to ensure that you become a quality aviation instructor.

What makes The Pilot Place CFI Academy different is that you can train around your schedule. We provide group classes twice weekly and individual instruction is provided when you are available. If you miss a group class, you can wait until that class is scheduled again or you can request one on one training to keep the pace you desire.

Please contact us today for additional details.

Student Pilot and New Pilot Meet-Up Group

5131 N Tamiami Trail. Sarasota, FL 34234

Flight training isn't like high school or college with most of your interactions between  you and your CFI.  However, life is meant to be experienced in community.  Being part of a group makes difficult endeavors easier and more meaningful.  By joining together in a community of student pilots and new pilots, we support each other's aviation goals.

Join us the first Monday of each month, from 6:30-8:00 at Rico's Pisseria & Pasta House, just south of the airport.  There will be a CFI on hand to answer questions and to help guide the discussion.
