Become a Pilot
Grayhawk Flight Training offers flight training programs for the following certificates and ratings:
Private Pilot
Earning your FAA private pilot's certification is the greatest and most memorable achievement any pilot can do. The FAA private pilot certification gives you the freedom to fly, with passengers, anywhere in the world. Whether you are looking to fly for fun or eventually fly as a career, this is the first step to achieving those goals.

Instrument Pilot
Are you ready to take your flying to the next level? As an instrument pilot you can legally fly in the clouds, rain and fog.
