Nothing can compare to the excitement and exhilaration of learning to take the controls and pilot your own airplane If you have always wanted to learn to fly and thought it was too time consuming or expensive then the FAA s new light sport pilot certificate is for you.
The light sport pilot certificate will enable you to learn to fly in half the time and cost of the traditional private pilot certificate when you learn in the seat of a factory new Evector Sportstar.
It is our goal to bring the excitement and adventure of learning to fly to more people than ever before. Our location in the San Juan Islands are one of the most beautiful places in the country to fly with varied terrain and weather patterns, everything from Mountains and islands to Seattle's downtown shoreline and beach airports. Our location is perfect for training, unlike busy metro area airports where you will have to deal with congested and complicated controlled airspace and large airports which can add significantly to the hours required to earn your pilot license. Our home base on San Juan Island offers a simpler and more relaxed environment to train in.
We are based in Friday Harbor on San Juan island, with its beautiful beaches, abundant wildlife, wonderful views, diverse accommodations and easy going, laid back way of life, the San Juan Islands offer a wonderful vacation retreat. Located in the northwest corner of Washington State, the islands lie in the rain shadow of the Olympic mountains, and average only about 20-28 inches of rain a year and 280 days of sunshine. In the summer we can often go for weeks without rain, which is why the San Juans are referred to as the Banana Belt of the Northwest. Temperatures average in the 70's during the summer with lows at night of around 55-60.
