Horizon Aviation at Providence International Airport (PVD - TF Green)
Horizon has its own ramp leading to the taxiway and two hangars in
which it stores it planes each night. We are the only school in the
area that hangars all of our planes, every night, meaning less frost on
the wings and more flying time for our students. When you spend time
here, you can't help but enjoy the awesome view of the planes taking
off on the runway right next to our main hangar.
TF Green Airport
TF
Green Airport is a class C airspace and students here quickly learn the
proper procedures that govern this busy place. Contrary to common
belief, it is actually very easy to get in the air; in some respects it
is actually more efficient than cueing up at an uncontrolled landing
strip because of the professional air traffic control. When you are in
this airspace you have a tower watching out for you and making sure
that you and all other planes in the vicinity are safe. We teach you
how to communicate with the tower in a procedure that you can then use
anywhere in the world. If you're going to learn to fly, learning in
this active commercial environment will make you a safer, more
confident pilot.
Getting here
We are conveniently located near Interstates 95 and 295, as well
as near US Rt. 1 and major state roads. Students come from all over
New England to train here. Directions below.
Inside Horizon
We
have a CFI room where you and your instructor will sit and conduct
one on one lessons equipped with a dedicated computer workstation,
table, whiteboard, and comfortable chairs. In this room their are
multiple stations and you will be in an active learning environment.
Every flight starts with a thorough briefing and ends with a thorough
debriefing.
Flight Simulator (PCATD)
We have an advanced flight simulator with student and CFI stations
that allows us to train you in instrument only flight, saving you
money and giving you practice on the ground, before you get in the
air. Click here to see our FAA-approved
simulator.
FAA test center
Our
school is an FAA computer test center, meaning you don't have to
travel to another location to conduct FAA written tests. This can
be a big time saver and have a positive effect on your testing.
You will be tested in an environment you are comfortable and familiar
with, reducing the stress on you as you prepare for your exams.
In addition, we have computer based training to prepare you for
the written exam and computer programs to practice the exams. These
resources will help you prepare more effectively for your licenses.
