More About Us
New-York is certainly the flying environment which presents the biggest challenge to pilots. It is said that "If
someone can fly in New-York skies, then he or she can fly anywhere in the world". This has never been more true
than today. The flight schools operating under permanent sunshine use this argument to promise everyday flying
to students. At Glass Cockpit Aviation we think that it is essential for our clients to experiment every type of
weather, even if it means staying on the ground! This is part of the training and the Go/No Go decision making.
Too often pilots train exclusively under "Clear Skies" and have difficulties dealing with challenging weather
conditions.
