Flight Instruction

Flight instruction is available from Connie Younger at CY Aviation for light sport pilot, private pilot and instrument rating. Connie is rated to teach in single- and multi-engine airplanes as well as gliders, and has been instructing pilots for more than 30 years. He has over 10 years experience as a Designated Pilot Examiner, and is a holder of the Gold Seal Flight Instructor Certificate. He also provides tailwheel checkout and spin training.

Are you interested in learning to fly? You're in good hands with us: CY Aviation attracts students from all over our region. Check out our newly-minted pilots on our “Wall of Honor”.

Because it is a fantastic airplane for learning the basics of flight, Connie recommends starting off in the Aeronca Champ. As students advance to flying a four-place airplane it is recommended that students "double up" so that one student can observe (at no cost!) while the other is receiving instruction. Ground instruction can also be given to two students simultaneously, which also cuts costs in half. Contact us, and we can tailor a program to your needs!
