Risk Assessment

New to the Student Corner, is a interactive Risk Assessment Tool that will allow students, renters, and instructors to gauge their personal condition prior to a flight. Several Yes/No questions are asked which will present you with a grade that is in conformance with the FAA Safety Guidelines. Use of this interactive tool is highly encouraged and will allow you to be more aware of the factors that affect your flight.

Physical Location Updates

Peachtree City Location
	With the opening of the LaGrange location and the re-location of the MTC department within the next week, the Peachtree City location will be downsizing its operation to better equip each flight base with aircraft and instructors. This step is necessary to best utilize all the resources at our disposal and to best serve all customers throughout the Falcon service area. The Peachtree City downsizing operation is scheduled to take place effective October 1. This plan will reduce the training space by 50% allowing only the area currently occupied by the first half of the building to remain a part of the Falcon Operation.
