Call now to schedule a Discovery Flight. [ Learn More ]


Spin Training and Upset Recovery Training

Build confidence and increase your flying skills with spin training at Wings! Learn the ins and outs of what makes an aircraft spin, when and why inadvertent spins happen, and what you can do to make sure they never happen to you. Then fly with our experienced instructor in the 7ECA Citabria to experience them first hand! Additionally, you will practice flight at Minimum Controllable Airspeed (MCA), realistic stall training (not just stalls as a maneuver like you learned in Private Pilot training), emergencies and engine failure scenarios.

Then, climb into the Extra 300L for Upset Recovery Training! Learn to see your airplane as a true three-dimensional machine while you experience extreme unusual attitudes of the kind you would see after a loss of control, only do so in a safe environment with an experienced instructor on board! In this half of the course you will learn how to recover from inverted flight (roll, don’t pull), as well as how to regain level, controlled flight without putting undo stresses on you or the airframe. See common mistakes that pilots make now so you don’t make them yourself! [ Learn More ]


Aerobatic Training

Come have some fun and experience the rush and joy of flying in its purest form! Feel the excitement in the amazing Extra 300L, a 300 horsepower, fully-certified aerobatic airplane capable of rolling up to 400 degrees per second and pulling up to +/- 10 G’s! Whether for fun on the weekends or with an eye towards competition aerobatics, aerobatic training at Wings is the way to go! [ Learn More ]
