DESIGNED FOR EVERY STAGE OF TRAINING
See the rooms, equipment, aircraft support, and maintenance resources available to students at Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport.
Planning tools and weather resources
Our flight planning room gives students a dedicated place to prepare for each lesson. Computers provide access to weather information and aircraft performance data, while current charts are close at hand. Students become comfortable with the same planning tools pilots use every day.
Briefing and individual instruction
Students meet with their instructors before each lesson to review the day’s objectives and any relevant safety considerations. These offices provide a quiet place to ask questions before flying. They are also used for debriefing and tracking progress after a lesson.

Ground school and training aids
Our classroom hosts private pilot ground school and other training sessions. Aircraft parts and training aids help students connect classroom lessons with the systems they will use in the airplane. The room is set up for practical discussion, not just lectures.
Instrument and emergency practice
We operate a full-motion Redbird FMX Advanced Aviation Training Device modeled after our Diamond DA40 aircraft. Students can practice instrument procedures and emergency situations in a controlled environment. The simulator is also useful when weather prevents a flight lesson.

Covered and heated storage
Our aircraft are stored in a fully covered and heated hangar to help protect them from the elements and keep them in excellent condition year-round. Proper storage and care help us maintain a clean, reliable fleet that students can feel confident training in.
Maintenance support on site
Our in-house maintenance department allows us to hold the fleet to our own standards. Having the team on site reduces downtime and helps keep each aircraft ready for training.
