At GFS, our mission is to assist pilots who are looking for a better understanding of the information required to obtain their certificates and give them the confidence as they prepare for their checkrides. We are dedicated to ensuring that our students receive the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the aviation industry long after they pass their FAA checkride.
Our virtual platform allows our students to work one-on-one with a Gold Seal Instructor to review the knowledge areas required by the PTS/ACS for the certificate they are working towards. Our focus is to highlight the material you will need to understand at the level required for your FAA checkride.
We specialize in Ground Instruction for the following airplane certificates: Private Pilot (PPL), Commercial Pilot (CPL), Initial Certified Flight Instructor (CFI).
