Group 6 Basic Flight School Information

The Basic Flight School focuses on sufficiently preparing cadets who wish to attend Powered Flight Academy.  Areas of instruction include Cockpit familiarity, weather briefings, communication on the radios, runway layout, selection, and patterns, checklist proficiency, and emergency procedures. Learning these critical skills ahead of time will enable cadet students attending PFA and Wings to focus more on learning to fly.  Cadet orientation flights will not be offered. 

Students will receive a study packet NLT 22 March 2026.  Students are required to print out the packet, study the material, and bring in a folder to BFS.
