Why LaGrange students train with Tiger Aviation.
Nothing taught twice, nothing billed twice.
One instructor keeps written notes on every lesson. Airplane time goes toward new skills, and anything that can be taught on the ground is taught on the ground.
Judgment, not just maneuvers.
We teach what is happening to the airplane and why, so the pilot who leaves here can make good decisions alone, not just repeat memorized answers.
