Throttle Up Flight Academy Cessna 172K

A little more driving. More time to practice.

Where you train can make a difference in how you use each rental hour. Canton Ingersoll is a non-towered airport, where lessons can involve less time waiting for tower instructions or clearances on the ground and less flying to and from a practice area.

At a busier airport, ground delays and the trip out to a suitable practice area and back can use part of your lesson. Reducing that time can leave more of your paid aircraft time for maneuvers, landings, and building skills.
