Citywings Flight School

Citywings Flight School is based at Schaumburg Regional Airport near Chicago, Illinois. The school trains people who want to learn to fly for fun or as a career. Students can work toward several licenses and ratings. These include Sport Pilot, Private Pilot, Commercial Pilot, and Airline Pilot certifications. The school welcomes beginners who have never been in an airplane before.

Training starts with discovery flights, also called introductory flights. These short flights let new students sit in the cockpit and see what flying feels like. After that, students can enroll in a full course. The school offers a pilot training kit to help students prepare for lessons. Gift certificates are also available for people who want to give flight experiences to friends or family.

The school teaches ground school every week. Students can attend in person at the airport or take classes online from home. This flexible option helps people who work during the day or live far from the airport. Ground school covers the knowledge needed to pass FAA written exams. Flight lessons then build on that knowledge with hands on practice in the air.

Citywings uses modern light sport aircraft for training. One main trainer is the REMOS GX. It has a carbon fiber body, a modern 100 horsepower engine, and a digital cockpit. The other main trainer is the Flight Design CTLS. It has very large windows, a 10 inch digital instrument panel, and a wide cabin. Both planes are equipped with modern safety features.

The aircraft run on unleaded fuel instead of leaded fuel. This is better for the environment and reduces exposure to toxic chemicals. The cabins are nine inches wider than a Cessna 172 and Piper Cherokee. This extra width means students and instructors do not bump shoulders. The interiors are kept clean and fresh smelling.

Students fly with noise canceling Bluetooth headphones provided by the school. These headphones block engine noise and make communication easier. The school operates every day of the week. Students can schedule lessons throughout the week to fit their personal calendars. Citywings focuses on creating a safe and comfortable place to learn aviation skills.
