CHS Flight School
Our Success
CHS has become one of the largest and most successful flight schools in the region and we are always improving. Our success is based on our students’ success. We work to achieve real progress at less cost and have proven that there is a better way to do flight training than the traditional “burn holes in the sky” approach.
Unlike other flight schools that use a syllabus created over 50 years ago, we developed our own syllabus that incorporates the simulator into your training, guaranteeing that on your first flight you will be the active pilot with occasional input from your instructor instead of the other way around.
Our Story
In 2012 Mike McCurdy started a brand new flight school using a full-motion Redbird simulator. He saw that too many flight simulators were used like airplanes when in fact they had a much different role. The line of reasoning was:
- Repetition is an incredibly valuable learning tool
- The airplane is a poor source of repetition
- The simulator, on the other hand, is built for repetition.
Thus began what has ultimately become CHS Flight School. The response has been phenomenal. Our clients quickly learned that just a short time in the simulator made them much more proficient in the airplane, in much less time and at considerably less cost.
