ARCA Objectives:

FLIGHT TRAINING
Our training program is an on-call system for our trainees. We ask that when a trainee wants to use our program, he/she calls or emails the instructor to arrange to meet the available instructor at the flying field for training at the pre-arranged time. Please call at least 24 hours in advance if possible. Training days for non-soloed pilots varies, although training can be held any time the field is open, with the exception of special events and field maintenance.
