Learning to fly is a life changing, life-long, educational experience and adventure. Whether you are just starting your journey of becoming a pilot or have let your currency expire and need to shake the rust off, TakeWING is here to guide you, stick with you, push you, and celebrate each step of your pilot journey with you.
Private Pilot
Become a Private Pilot—It’s a Mind, Body, and Soul Expanding Adventure!
There’s a reason why there are only about 618,000 pilots in the U.S. It takes grit, self discipline, and yes, even soul searching to obtain the coveted private pilot certificate but once you do, you can’t imagine why you waited so long or how you would live life again without flying! DISCOVER MORE
Sport Pilot
Discover the Fun of Sport Pilot Aviation
The Sport Pilot certificate is perfect for budget conscious people. Sport pilots fly Light Sport Aircraft (LSA’s). These are smaller, lighter aircraft (and that means you can’t weight too much too!). Our modern Cessna 162 SkyCatcher is equipped with the latest aviation gadgets or as we in aviation say — Glass Avionics! DISCOVER MORE
Instrument Rating
Instrument rating—Get up and out of the fog!
Pilots, if you’ve been stuck below the fog or cancelled a trip because the ceilings or visibility were too low (and what pilot in Oregon hasn’t?) then put your training cap back on and get your instrument rating. DISCOVER MORE
CFI-Sport (Flight Instructor—Sport Pilot)
Sport CFI Certificate—NO Commercial or Instrument rating required!
Do you have 150 hours or more PIC time? Are you a good communicator and do you have a passion or to help others become pilots? The Sport Pilot CFI certificate represents a major FAA breakthrough in simplifying the process of becoming a flight instructor. If you’re already a sport or a private pilot, the next step is mastering your aviation talents while inspiring others to become pilots. Please contact us for more information about our CFI-Sport training and career options.

Passion for Proficiency—Not Just Currency
Train Using the Newest Generation of Advanced Simulation Devices!
Our Redbird FMX Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD) with G1000 avionics is the most cost effective tool you can use for IFR or VFR training and proficiency.
Proficient (adj.)
1. Skilled, adept, competent; expert in a particular field.
2. Making progress, improving; advancing towards perfection.
- Lower cost training alternative to aircraft rental, available in good or bad weather. Practice even when the weather outside prohibits taking a real airplane.

- Gain valuable training time! No wasted time flying to a practice area or a FAF.
-
Practice the unexpected—Safely! Engine failures on takeoff, inadvertent flight into bad weather, and spin recovery.
- Pause Button! Increases understanding when you can stop and discuss a procedure or training maneuver at the moment you need to instead of after the flight.
