Click here to read AOPA's coverage of the new Nassau Flyers
Welcome to Nassau Flyers, Long Island’s premier flight training destination! For the last 34 years, Nassau Flyers has been a leader in providing exceptional flight instruction and aviation services on Long Island. The company has been located at Farmingdale Republic Airport since its inception in 1976, and it has been offering flight instruction that is unparalleled by any other flight school on the island. Nassau Flyers trains students to become safe and proficient pilots, and all training is performed in accordance with Part 61 of the Federal Aviation Regulations.
If you are a new student at Nassau Flyers, you will begin your flight training by performing an introductory flight lesson with one of our flight instructors. The goal of this lesson is to acquaint you with an airplane and to familiarize you with a routine training activity. By flying for over 90% of the flight, you will have the opportunity to determine if flight training is for you. Following the first activity, your training will be performed at your own pace, depending on your availability and your motivation to earn your license. Your instructor will teach you the required knowledge, and your progress will be recorded in Nassau Flyers’ very own training syllabus. After finishing the training syllabus and successfully completing the FAA tests, you will become an FAA-licensed Private Pilot. Learning how to fly will prove to be a fun and exciting experience, and the end result will offer you a great deal of personal reward.
If you already possess a Private Pilot’s License, Nassau Flyers also offers additional training and services to meet your flying needs. Instruction is offered for instrument ratings, commercial pilot’s licenses, flight instructor ratings, and tailwheel endorsements, and all of the aircraft are available for rent at competitive prices. Furthermore, the flight school features the only pilot shop on the field, allowing you to conveniently purchase any aviation products that you need.
Since different students have different availability and resources to devote to flying, a definitive number of hours needed to earn a license or rating cannot be determined. Therefore, Nassau Flyers charges students based on an hourly rate at the conclusion of each activity. Hourly costs are based on a standard rate for the airplane and the instructor, or a discounted rate if you purchase a club membership. If you plan to fly for a minimum of two times per month, a club membership will be the best option for you.
If you have any questions regarding flight training, products in our pilot-shop, our facilities, or aviation in general, feel free to speak to our staff or call our office. We are open seven days per week from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and we will happy to answer any questions that you may have.
LET’S GO FLYING!!!
