Your introduction to flying can be tailored to you, including back-to-back flights with a stop in the islands, a trip around Deception Pass, or even having the instructor pilot demonstrating some of the maneuvers you will get to learn en route to earning your license. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608733c46016c939236a98bb/1625597329428-G0L4Q68ZLGPMRW33KKQK/Kelsey+and+Jane+ground+lesson.jpg Private Pilot - Stage 1: Pre-Solo Start training with your instructor towards your first solo! Initial lessons begin with learning the basics of flying your airplane and with familiarizing yourself with the area. Soon you will learn how to perform stalls, steep turns, slow flight, and ground reference maneuvers. You’ll also learn how to address in-flight emergencies, and you’ll work to finesse your landings. Our practice areas are less than five minutes away from the airport after takeoff so you won’t waste any time traveling to and from another location just to get out of busy airspace. You can also appreciate the incredible views of the Skagit Valley while experiencing the freedom of flight! Stage 1 culminates with a stage check where you will demonstrate your knowledge and flying skills to another instructor to ensure your training is progressing well and is up to standards. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608733c46016c939236a98bb/1625592005777-6Z3R5XHUBBE60IA5W7B2/Bob+cutting+shirt+student+first+solo.jpg Private Pilot - Stage 2: Solo flying and cross-country training Once you pass your stage 1 check you will earn solo privileges! On your first solo you will perform three takeoffs and landings at the airport completely on your own, and afterwards you may choose to participate in the time-honored tradition of having your shirt tail cut off. Subsequently you will be able to practice all the maneuvers you learned in stage 1 by yourself. The instruction portion of stage 2 builds on your flying skills to learn more advanced takeoffs and landings, and also introduces cross-country flying procedures (learning how to fly in the national airspace system and navigate to airports greater than 50 nautical miles away). As with stage 1, stage 2 concludes with a stage check with another instructor to ensure you are ready to progress to stage 3. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608733c46016c939236a98bb/1625592516829-BYKNRCBBQ6EI080MAMGV/Kelsey+debrief+with+student+and+12687.jpg Private Pilot - Stage 3: Solo cross-country flying and checkride preparation The final portion of your private training is all about preparing you to take your checkride, an oral and practical examination with an FAA-approved Designated Pilot Examiner. You will do one or two solo cross-country flights (usually to the Seattle metro area), practice all the required flight maneuvers and landings solo, and train with your instructor to make sure you are proficient to pass the exam. Also required by this point is passing the FAA’s required knowledge test. Stage 3 concludes with one final stage check with another Cascade instructor, and following that you will be endorsed to take the checkride. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608733c46016c939236a98bb/1625592985348-2QYB3SCL0U9HJ1CGY9G9/Phil+York+checkride+pass.jpg Private Pilot - Final exam: the checkride Having been endorsed by your instructor for the checkride you will complete a two-hour oral exam followed by a two-hour practical exam in the airplane with an FAA-approved Designated Pilot Examiner.

Not only do these flights satisfy the requirements of earning the required minimum cross-country hours, but they ensure you are completely proficient in the national airspace system and all the resources it has to offer. You will also become increasingly comfortable with air traffic control, especially outside of the local practice area. Perfect your cross-country navigation and communication skills, and then demonstrate them to another Cascade flight instructor on your stage 1 check flight to complete this segment of the commercial pilot course. Note: If you are not yet instrument rated Cascade recommends that you complete stage 1 of the commercial pilot training course, then complete the entire instrument training course to earn your instrument rating, and then resume training towards your commercial pilot license with stages 2 and 3 below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608733c46016c939236a98bb/1630947098035-B7SAUCDDH05O9M131Z7W/Anderson+Valdez+Nunez.jpg Commercial Pilot - Stage 2: Commercial pilot maneuvers There are several new maneuvers required to earn your commercial pilot’s license, and stage 2 of the course outline is dedicated to learning and perfecting them. Eights on pylons, accelerated stalls, lazy eights, and chandelles are among the new maneuvers you will learn. You will also review most of the maneuvers you learned in private pilot training, but now you will hone them to tighter margins. Commercial pilot regulations will also be introduced, and you will take a deeper dive into airplane systems, weather theory, emergency procedures, and risk management. Stage 2 concludes with a stage check by another Cascade instructor to ensure you are nearly ready for the checkride. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608733c46016c939236a98bb/1625598845817-VWDDXTOUWSQP118NLB31/Cockpit.jpg Commercial Pilot - Stage 3: Commercial training in a complex or technically advanced aircraft Your commercial pilot training concludes by completing the required flight hours in a technically advanced or complex aircraft and learning about more advanced systems built into them. You will also continue to review commercial pilot regulations, knowledge, and maneuvers, both solo and with an instructor, to ensure you are trained to proficiency. The end-of-course check with another Cascade instructor marks the end of the commercial pilot training course, immediately followed by the checkride with an FAA-authorized Designated Pilot Examiner. https://www.flycascade.com/redbird daily 0.75 2026-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608733c46016c939236a98bb/1628794388766-TOKN9MRPPPWGINDL5UMX/PXL_20210812_185048698.jpg Redbird TD2-S - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608733c46016c939236a98bb/1628396449362-R58B23SY1YPL8MCNZF43/Justin+and+Bob+simulator.jpg Redbird TD2-S https://www.flycascade.com/instrument daily 0.75 2022-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608733c46016c939236a98bb/e40bb3c2-43ef-4113-acb9-21ed2f88e90c/PXL_20211101_184317805.jpg Instrument Rating - Stage 1: Basic instrument flying and navigating The first stage of earning your instrument rating will build on the skills you developed in private pilot training. Start by digging deeper into how the flight instruments work, then apply that knowledge while flying solely by reference to the flight instruments. You will also practice navigating using VORs and DME, deepen your knowledge of weather and emergency procedures, and sharpen your flying skills without ever looking outside the airplane. You will conclude stage 1 with a stage check conducted by another Cascade instructor to ensure your knowledge and flying are proficient and you are prepared to continue to stage 2. Note: If you intend to pursue your commercial pilot’s license Cascade recommends that you complete stage 1 of the commercial pilot training course before beginning your instrument rating. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608733c46016c939236a98bb/1625596194621-TMH7CB5F4BR039YV6W6Q/ILS+minimums.jpg Instrument Rating - Stage 2: Instrument approaches and cross-country procedures Having become proficient in navigating and instrument flying in the local practice areas you will now hone those skills by conducting dual cross-country flights solely by reference to the instruments, including one flight of over 250 nautical miles! Navigate using VORs, DME, and GPS all while growing your comfort level with advanced communication procedures with air traffic control. You will also learn how to fly instrument approaches, taking you all the way down to as low as 200 feet off the ground without any outside visual reference! Stage 2 concludes after your end-of-course stage check with another Cascade instructor who will ensure you are a proficient instrument pilot and capable of passing the FAA checkride, which caps off the instrument training course. https://www.flycascade.com/wallofhonor daily 0.75 2024-01-16

Training outline Private pilot training is accomplished in three stages: 1) maneuvers and pre-solo, 2) solo flight and cross-country training, and 3) solo cross-country flying and checkride (exam) preparation. Each stage concludes with a check flight with the chief or assistant chief pilot to ensure your training is progressing well and up to standards. After you pass your checkride you will receive your private pilot’s license! Looking to go beyond the private pilot license? Cascade can help you earn your instrument rating, commercial pilot’s license, flight instructor rating, and even build hours towards your airline transport pilot’s license. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608733c46016c939236a98bb/1628877249293-YQWYPENQFSGSEN2V99YH/Dane+McCormack+2021-07-29.jpg Training Overview https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608733c46016c939236a98bb/1628877228369-QXR6LYXC8ROD930AOEKI/Justin+Kelsey+and+Kevin.jpg Training Overview https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608733c46016c939236a98bb/1628877274645-QLHPDHLCXQRLT7L1S9F6/Instrument+flying.jpg Training Overview https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608733c46016c939236a98bb/1628877465190-4U4QS2U5HXDB4TQG22G4/Kevin+Peterson+flying+with+parents.jpg Training Overview THIS WILL BE YOU! https://www.flycascade.com/2273f daily 0.75 2026-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608733c46016c939236a98bb/1630768686709-0HXE59D3Q7TYX2R7BM3W/PXL_20210903_232408345.jpg Piper Cherokee 140: N2273F - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608733c46016c939236a98bb/1630945975841-M3EX6HKA55O6LOK74APR/241502117_3390660734392376_5834569758360177520_n.jpg Piper Cherokee 140: N2273F https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608733c46016c939236a98bb/1630768849674-SXL8I4LX91LDFT8YSQW4/PXL_20210903_232621283.jpg Piper Cherokee 140: N2273F - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.flycascade.com/employment daily 0.75 2026-02-03 https://www.flycascade.com/61891 daily 0.75 2026-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608733c46016c939236a98bb/37921faa-8d52-4036-895a-1df105249d09/IMG_2178.JPG Cessna 172M: N61891 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608733c46016c939236a98bb/a527c8ee-20d9-4921-92dc-d7044a7193d4/IMG_2179.JPG Cessna 172M: N61891 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608733c46016c939236a98bb/f0ee5b3d-332d-4d1f-9ec1-1223fc5c65ba/IMG_2184.JPG Cessna 172M: N61891 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.flycascade.com/scholarship-1 daily 0.75 2023-07-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608733c46016c939236a98bb/467523c6-2606-402a-8dda-8c47ce536711/FAA+Logo.JPG Other Scholarships - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608733c46016c939236a98bb/d9121fea-dacc-4f92-9d2f-20c193388997/AOPA+Logo_Primary.png Other Scholarships - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.flycascade.com/3020s daily 0.75 2026-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608733c46016c939236a98bb/75138d12-dfb8-4456-8e72-a4bb14da0368/IMG_2263.JPG Piper Warrior II: N3020S - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608733c46016c939236a98bb/7c69f5d2-07ce-4bdc-8972-b96b6951b651/IMG_2257.JPG Piper Warrior II: N3020S https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608733c46016c939236a98bb/01b318d6-a28d-4d17-9a84-2bdcad9d0f97/IMG_2264.JPG Piper Warrior II: N3020S - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.flycascade.com/8595v daily 0.75 2026-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608733c46016c939236a98bb/eb07cf53-bbe5-404e-823d-3232dad98b53/IMG_2269.JPG Bellanca Citabria 7ECA: N8595V - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608733c46016c939236a98bb/99b64a7a-1558-42e3-9983-7c6877a17d87/IMG_2274.JPG Bellanca Citabria 7ECA: N8595V https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608733c46016c939236a98bb/a3d16b5b-fc0c-4d08-8132-3abad94a3b58/IMG_2279.JPG Bellanca Citabria 7ECA: N8595V - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
