All of your training is done one on one with a highly trained and professional flight instructor. All training is done at your pace, and if something needs to be focused on more than we will focus on that aspect of flying. All of our instructors are available outside of work as well to be contacted if you need help with any questions that may arise as you study. Leading Edge is looking for highly motivated students to bring into our family and we hope that you are that next PILOT!!!!!

Staff Qualification
Leading Edge instructor pilots come from a variety of aviation backgrounds and are very knowledgeable and professional. We have a former airline pilot that flew with Eastern Airlines, a former Navy pilot, a former part 141 instructor, and previous interaction with major airlines and their operations. With over 40 years of collective flight experience between our flight instructors, we feel that we can give the best, most thorough training in Tampa, and for that matter in the country. All of our instructors are highly motivated to get you in the cockpit of an airplane and flying to the four corners.
