Safety

Statistically, general aviation is safer than most forms of travel.

USAF Flight Training Centers are significantly safer than those of civil aviation as a whole…why? Because not only do we adhere to FAA regulations, we also adhere to Air Force Regulations.

Insurance: all of our members are covered by our insurance, so there is no need to seek a commercial carrier.
