Aerobatic Training at
Chandler
Chandler Air Service, Inc. has been providing aerobatic flight
training since 1981. We teach aggressively and we teach you how to
perform and understand the maneuvers. We are not here to just
"show" you how to do them and let you repeat what we have done. We
teach you how to fly the airplane before we instruct in aerobatics. We
give ground training when necessary and we give the ground that is needed. We
provide good "nuts and bolts" training that avoids old school ideas,
memorizing, and "deep thought aerodynamics".
Our instructors are full time employed pilots at our school. No part time or beginners are allowed to provide this training. No professional pilots working somewhere else work here on the side. These instructors instruct in all areas of flight training and know how to teach and handle each pilots individual needs.
