What is Desert Eagle Flight Academy?
Do you want to take the first step in becoming a pilot? Aspiring pilots receive formal ground instruction and cockpit time with certified flight instructors. Many cadets even solo at the academy, although that is not guaranteed.
The learning environment is specially designed for aviation motivated cadets who are serious about learning to fly. Plan to spend 8-10 hours a day immersed in studying and actually being at the controls of the aircraft. Expect very little free time. If you are dedicated to becoming a pilot, this Academy is for you.
You can also expect to have requirement to complete prior to arrival at the Academy. You will have all the help that you need to be successful if you are willing to put in the effort.
Participants in the flight academy receive “hands-on” flight time learning the basics of flying a powered aircraft or glider, ground instruction, and the opportunity to be immersed in aviation.
Locally, Washington volunteers operate a fleet of 23 vehicles and 14 aircraft (Cessna 172s, 182s, and a 206, as well as 2 Blanik gliders) for inland search and rescue missions and cadet orientation flight instruction. The wing is comprised of 650 adult members (ages 18+) and 626 cadets (ages 12-21), organized into 27 squadrons, who contributed a value of $4.9 million in volunteer hours to their local communities and the citizens of Washington in 2019.
