You may begin your lessons any day of the week. We  will start your lessons at any time it is convenient to fit your schedule. Plan on 3-4 days.

requirements.

At Lake Hood we start when you want. (depending on Instructor availability) Be sure to read my letter to pilots regarding training at Lake Hood at the bottom of my  home page . It starts out... Please read this Really Important message to Alaska pilots about flying at Lake Hood, When you email or call Vern, be sure to mention if you want your SES lessons, refresher, or BFR out of Lake Hood in Anchorage, or Trail Lake, Moose Pass.

You will not have the experience of mountain flying instruction out of Lake Hood, the mountains are too far away. Some weeks completely booked. Please call Vern for open dates.
