01 — Knowledge with context
Ground school
Aerodynamics, weather, navigation, regulations and radio — taught in small evening groups and tied to your next flight, never just a textbook.
Training — the craft of flight
Three stages.
One arc.
Every pilot at Windhaven travels the same arc: understand it, practise it with an instructor, then prove it alone. Start wherever you are — the path meets you there.
The programs
01 – 03
02 — Practice with purpose
Dual instruction
One-on-one flight time with your dedicated instructor: pattern work, manoeuvres, cross-countries and the judgement calls in between.
03 — Your judgement, trusted
Solo readiness
The final polish: solo circuits, supervised cross-countries and checkride prep until your instructor — and you — are certain.
The fleet
Simple, honest airplanes
Windhaven trainers — forgiving high-wing singles
You’ll train in dependable high-wing singles — the same forgiving airframes flight schools have trusted for decades. Stable, honest, and easy to see out of.

How a week looks
Built around your life
-
Two sessions a week is the sweet spot
One ground briefing and one flight, or two flights when the weather smiles. Consistency beats intensity — skills compound between lessons.
-
Evenings and weekends, your call
Dawn patrol before work or golden-hour circuits after it. You book slots that fit your calendar, and your instructor keeps the arc moving.
-
Weather days become ground days
Low cloud isn’t a lost week — it’s navigation planning, radio practice, or systems deep-dives that pay off on the next clear day.
