| Aircraft Instruction |
Flight and ground instruction is conducted on a one-to-one basis with your assigned instructor and is available seven days a week, 24 hours a day. WINFC utilizes the Jeppesen Pilot Training Course as the main syllabus for all instruction.
You can earn a Private Pilot Certificate at the Fraser School of Flight in as little as four months at about 50 percent of the cost of local flight schools.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires 40 hours of flight time to earn a private pilot's license. Most students receive a license after approximately 55 hours. After completing FAA exams, you will enter the wonderful world of flight! The worthwhile investment will last you a lifetime.

| Youth Flight Camps |
Youth Flight Courses offer basic and advanced youth courses for ages 13 - 18.
The basic 4-day course introduces young people to aviation. The course includes basic ground instruction, tours of NAS Whidbey Island facilities and culminates in a local flight with an experienced flight instructor in one of the WINFC airplanes.
The advanced flight course picks up where the basic leaves off, including 12 hours of ground instruction on navigation, communications and flight planning. The course wraps up with a cross-country flight to nearby airports and the opportunity to put the knowledge to work during an actual flight.
