Accelerated courses are ideal for folks that tend to pick up new skills and knowledge quickly, and that are able to dedicate themselves to preparation. Not everyone is suited to this type of training environment. If you like to do things slow and easy, you may not be comfortable with accelerated training. These courses are "drinking from a fire hose." These courses are focused on the flight portion of training, and so require good preparation on the part of the student prior to arrival. If your time is limited, and you want to work hard to get through the FLIGHT portion of the training quickly, and with the least expense, these courses are the way to go.

FAA Gold Seal Master Instructor Greg Collins, ATP, CSES, CFII, MEI, A&P IA

Greg has over 16,000 hours of instruction given, with a 95% first time pass rate. When you select a flight school, ask the school how many successful pilots have earned their certificates through the school. Is your instructor and aircraft available 7 days a week to meet your schedule? Finishing well below the FAA average completion time of 75 hours is quite possible with a highly experienced instructor, and a hardworking, well prepared student.

Some Recent Feedback -

I don't think I could have went anywhere to get better training! Greg is a top notch instructor! I had a great experience training with Greg, I finished in a short amount of time for a great price! I highly recommend Blue Ridge Sport Flight! - Aaron A. Veedersburg, Indiana

His training was everything he advertises and more. I think it is a rare thing when you can find someone so knowledgeable in so many facets of their field. In addition to being very patient and gently shaping my flying abilities he knew every aspect of his airplanes, inside and out. Rob W., New York

I could not be happier about my time spent with Greg Collins at Blue Ridge Sport Flight! I obtained my private license in 11 days. Researching the time and expenses for an aspiring pilot just to obtain a private license is enough to turn someone away from going any further. However, I can say that for the 11 days I spent at B.R.S.F. I had far less time and money invested than someone spreading their training out over several months or years. Scott B. Valdosta, Georgia

Greg is a great instructor. Absolutely no nonsense approach in the air and on the ground. Bring your "A" game and you WILL learn to fly well and you WILL learn efficiently! Even if you have a "B" game day, Greg'll get you through it! - Jeff B. Decatur, Georgia

Like most flight schools, Blue Ridge Sport Flight does not carry hull insurance in favor of the student. We recommend that all SOLO renters carry "Non-owned Aircraft Insurance" at all times. Renter's insurance is NOT required when an instructor is in the airplane. This insurance is very affordable, generally about $2 per day, and readily available through Avemco, AOPA, and EAA. We can help arrange and explain the insurance.
