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.
