School Description
Bob Miller Flight Training, Inc. (BMFT) has one very simple but critically important goal. That goal is to provide each of our training pilots with the aeronautical decision making and flight maneuvering skills to remain safe under all circumstances aloft. Our flight training philosophy differs substantially from other more traditional flight schools. We embrace the concept of scenario-based training based upon the FAA/Industry training (FITS) model. Rather than having our students go through rote training in local practice areas, each training flight is an actual missions in real weather to distant airports.

Staff Qualification
Bob Miller speaks and writes extensively on general aviation safety matters. In addition to primary and advanced training, Bob provides specialized training in high altitude operations, defensive icing strategies, and unusual attitude and emergency maneuvers training.
