Flight training at Capital City
Aviation is provided by competent and capable instructors
who take your dreams seriously! Utilizing the latest in aircraft
technology and safety procedures, Capital City Aviation's aircraft
fleet is one of the best values in the Central Ohio area. Whether
you're a businessperson looking to increase your reach, a hobbyist
who has always wanted to fly, or an aspiring professional pilot,
Capital City Aviation can do it all!
Private Pilot
The most basic of licenses, the private pilot license allows a pilot
to operate any aircraft in the single engine land category. At
Capital City Aviation, we are fortunate enough to have four
different types of single engine land airplanes - and you're more
than welcome to try your hand at each one! The private pilot license
can be used for business or pleasure, but you cannot get paid to fly
the airplane.
Instrument Rating
Often quoted as being the most challenging and rewarding flying
pilots ever do, the instrument rating allows flight in the IFR
environment - once the domain of just airliners. Pilots learn to
handle the aircraft more precisely with reference to the inside
gauges instead of purely looking out the window. The
Instrument rating also allows the pilot to safely navigate in poor
visibility such as clouds or rain.
Multi Engine Rating
The multi engine rating allows pilots to operate as pilot-in-command
an aircraft with more than one engine. The multi-engine rating can
be added to a private pilot license either with or without
instrument privileges (if you hold them already) or to a commercial
pilot license, either as an initial or add-on.
Commercial Pilot
The Commercial license allows pilots to fly "for hire" and get paid
for their services. All fight instructors are required to have a
commercial license. With a commercial license, pilots can do the
following:
- Aerial Photography
- Skydiving Drops
- Operate corporate aircraft for individuals or companies
- Pipeline Patrol
- Ferry Flights
Flight Instructor - CFI, CFII, & MEI
With a flight instructor certificate, commercial pilots can expand
their employment opportunities by teaching others to learn to fly.
From private pilot to multi-engine students, flight instructors
build time and experience while sharing their knowledge with
students.
Career Track
Interested in being a professional pilot? Capital City Aviation can provide you the
training you'll need to start getting paid for flying! If you dread
working in the same cubicle your entire life and love to travel,
flying might possibly be your calling! Call us today to see how we
can get you there!
Additional Endorsements
These endorsements can be added to any grade of pilot certificate
(with the exception of the instrument proficiency check). Whether
done to meet an FAA requirement or just for fun, an additional
endorsement allows you to take greater advantage of your certificate
and fly different and larger aircraft.

If your instrument skills are not up to meeting the PTS and/or
you are out of the 12 month cycle for instrument currency, this
