Why SG

SG stands for Silly Goose

That is not an accident, and it is not a joke at the expense of the flying. It is a reminder that learning to fly should be rigorous and genuinely enjoyable — because the students who finish are the ones who still want to show up on week thirty.

You'll fly with the same instructor every lesson. Not a rotating cast, not someone counting hours until the airlines call. He'll remember what you struggled with last time, so nothing gets re-explained and no lesson is spent catching somebody new up.

We are also straightforward about money. Our rates are published, and our full cost breakdown gives a realistic total instead of the FAA-minimum figure almost nobody actually hits.
