Leading the way in ground and flight instruction, Dragonfly Aviation offers complete training from Private Pilot to the more advanced ratings. Our qualified, experienced flight instructors will work with you to provide you with the best training experience possible.
Why take flight training? Have you ever wanted to go somewhere just for the day but the thought of a 4 hour drive each way just wasn't worth it? Imagine just renting a clean, meticulously maintained, 2, 4 or 6 seat airplane from Dragonfly Aviation and being there in an hour! And since many airports have "courtesy" cars available to pilots, you can even have transportation while you are there.
Imagine just flying somewhere for lunch... Imagine flying into a remote area for a secluded camping or fishing trip... Imagine flying your family and friends over the vineyards and then out to the coast for a sunset cruise... Imagine the fun and excitement of doing loops, spins, and rolls with an aerobatic airplane... With your pilot's license, the only limitation is your imagination!
Why Dragonfly Aviation? Dragonfly Aviation is located in the heart of the wine country in beautiful Sonoma County, California. Just minutes from the Pacific ocean or the rolling hills of the vineyards, your flight training will also be an enjoyable sight-seeing adventure.
And because of our location and beautiful weather, Dragonfly Aviation conducts flight training throughout the year. Temperate conditions and excellent visibility are usually the norm... not the exception.
And unlike some other flight schools located at smaller, out of the way airports, you will be operating out of the Sonoma County / Santa Rosa airport, a Class D "controlled" airport. Here you will easily learn how to communicate with Air Traffic Control and gain the confidence needed to fly anywhere in the world.
Dragonfly Aviation is also
a Cessna Pilot Center utilizing the latest methods of training
available. The Cessna Aircraft Company has been synonymous with
general aviation for more than 70 years. They build more airplanes
than anyone else in the world - including light single-engine
personal aircraft, turbine-powered utility aircraft, and the most
popular business jets on the planet. And they built the aircraft
that's taught every U.S. Air Force jet pilot to fly since1955.
It's no surprise they're innovators in the world of flight training. Cessna developed the world's first integrated training program, which combined textbook and video tape instruction with hands-on flight lessons. And now, thanks to their exclusive new Computer-Based Instruction (CBI), they've brought learning to fly into the computer age.
In doing so, Cessna has made flight training easier and more convenient. Combining academic lessons, quizzes, and full-screen video demonstrations of concepts, CBI is an integral part of learning to fly with Cessna. And we bring it directly to you. Learn at your own pace, according to your own schedule. At home, at the office, at the airport. Anywhere you've got a personal computer.
With new aircraft, new training techniques, and the most dedicated instructors in the business, you're sure to become a safe, successful pilot when you train with Cessna. Just like thousands of new pilots before.
Dragonfly Aviation also offers some of the most competitive pricing available for flight instruction and aircraft rentals. Click on the flight instruction buttons on the left to get complete information and pricing on the different types of instruction available.
What is Computer-Based Instruction? Cessna's new, exclusive Computer-Based Instruction (CBI) uses the latest CD-ROM interactive technology to make your learn-to-fly experience fun, efficient, and convenient. You can study anywhere you have access to a personal computer - at your Cessna Pilot Center, at home, or even while traveling with your laptop PC.
With full-screen, full-motion video presentations, interactive quizzes, and illustrated demonstrations of concepts, CBI is the most comprehensive and easy-to-use private-pilot curriculum available. It meets all FAA training requirements, and it provides all the information you need to become a safe, confident pilot. Best of all, you can work at your own pace, according to your own schedule.
