Why Airfloe Aviation? Airfloe Aviation is one of the most comprehensive flight training service providers in the USA. Aside from simply loving to fly, passing well received knowledge to students makes us feel immortalized. We promote a life-long availability to students with regards to safety or decision-making concerns toward flight. We focus our instruction on what to do during emergency situati
ons to help reduce the number of NTSB reports. We complete Angel Flights (charity medical transportation) with students as they continue advanced training and mentoring. We prefer teaching in “Glass Panel” airplanes because they offer much more necessary information, safety features, and back-up instrumentation. We know that our students once having seen the advantages of going glass…”they never go back.”
