Why train at a Cessna Pilot Center?

Aircraft: At Benz Aviation we have a brand new Cessna 172SP, and a brand new Cessna 182T (Garmin G1000). These aircraft provide you with the latest in today's technology and amentities. Leather interior, advanced avionics, and smooth running engines create a quiet and comfortable learning environment for you.

Training Program: We use a computer based intergrated flight training program which allows you to view each lesson at home prior to your flight lesson. The aircraft viewed in the computer based training program will be configured the exact same as the aircraft you train in. You will not have to worry about all those knobs and switches you see in the aircraft because they will all be explained to you in the comfort of your own home with this state of the art training program. This exclusive multimedia technology gives you an edge over any other flight training courses on the market.

Safety: At Benz Aviation safety is always first. All our aircraft are meticulously maintained according to federal aviation regulations. Cessna aircraft have a proven safety record in the industry. Cessna has been building safe and reliable aircraft for over 70 years.
