Airgo is FAA Approved; under Air Agency
Certificate number 9AGS960K, from Private through Commercial pilot for both sinlge and multi engine airplanes. It is important
to know that our flight school is FAA Approved by choice, not because it is required.
Many Airports in our area that
have flight instruction on their field choose to operate their schools loosely under FAR Part 61, we have chosen to be
a FAA Approved School. Under Federal Air Regulations Part 141 we have to comply with stricter training requirements,
such as an approved flight training syllabus for each course that we are allowed to teach. Our instructors
are required to have additioanl flight checks. Students progress is closely monitored thru stage checks by the Chief
or Assistant Chief Flight Instructor. We have regular FAA inspections of school facilities, aircraft, training devices and written
test centers. FAA inspectors also have an an indept review of our student training records, and instructor records.
In
order to retain to our FAA approval Airgo must maintain at least an 80% first time pass rate for
all graduates on FAA Flight & Written Tests . Under FAR Part 141 the FAA grants Approved Pilot Schools many
important concessions in course hours and requirements. For example, the FAA grants a 60 hour reduction in the basic Part
61 commercial pilot requirements for Part 141 Schools.
FAA
Designated Examiner on Staff
Airgo is proud
to have a designated pilot examiner on staff. This will save our students time and money by not having to fly to the
location of the examiner.
