Pressley Aviation

Pressley Aviation is a flight school based at Stanly County Airport. The school sits between Charlotte and Raleigh in North Carolina. It focuses on helping students earn pilot certifications while staying on budget and completing training on time with a team of instructors.

The school offers training for private pilot certificates, instrument ratings, commercial pilot certificates, multi engine add on ratings, and certified flight instructor certificates. It also runs discovery flights for people who want to experience flying before they commit to a full program. Visitors may schedule a discovery flight through the website.

Students train in a fleet of eight aircraft. The fleet includes multiple Cessna Skyhawk 172 models, Piper Warriors, a Beechcraft Baron BE95 B55, and a 1973 Bellanca Decathlon. Most single engine trainers carry Garmin 650 units, dual G5 displays, and ADS B in and out equipment. The twin engine Baron features a G500 primary flight display, a Garmin 750, a three axis autopilot, and upgraded propellers.

The school maintains a full motion simulator through its Carolina Air SIM program. It also provides a classroom and a syllabus for both ground and flight instruction. The website includes a veteran flight training and benefits page for former service members who want to use their benefits for aviation training.

The school strives to help students reach their goals, stay on budget, and receive certifications on time. It celebrates student achievements after check rides, first solos, and new ratings in regular posts on its website. Prospective students can view photo galleries and detailed aircraft pages online.

The flight school trains students in spin endorsements with the Bellanca Decathlon. Multi engine students train in the Beechcraft Baron. The website lists pilot operating handbooks and detailed aircraft pages for prospective students to review before they start lessons.
