Private pilot training in Redlands, CA

Part 61 training at Redlands Municipal Airport (KREI) with a dedicated instructor in an IFR-equipped Cessna.

Zero hours to certificate under Part 61. We pair you with a dedicated flight instructor (CFI), put you in a well-maintained IFR-equipped Cessna 172, and sequence the lessons around your schedule — not the other way around.

The path

  • Ground School: Weather, aerodynamics, regulations, navigation, and the knowledge test in structured sessions tailored to your pace.
  • Dual Flight Training: Side-by-side with a CFI from your first takeoff. Build the fundamentals, judgment, and confidence that last a career.
  • Solo & Cross-Country: Build hours and independent decision-making through solo flights, night operations, and cross-country planning.
  • Checkride Prep: Mock orals, stage checks, and full practical test preparation. You will know you are ready before you meet the examiner.
