Holladay Aviation has a personal yet professional approach for flight training from private pilot through airline transport training. They are true aviators with a passion for teaching others to be real pilots. Their aircraft are top-notch in safety, equipment, and variety. Thank you Dana and Meredith for helping me to achieve my dream.

Adam, Paramedic -- Fernandina Beach, FL

I learned to fly many years ago. In late 2019, I got the bug to fly again. I knew the rust was thick and needed a flight instructor who understood how to get me back in the sky. Dana and Meredith Holladay made the learning experience so enjoyable and rewarding for me that I am focusing on my IFR training next! There is no other flight training school that comes close to Holladay Aviation!

Jim, Mortgage Banker -- St. Augustine, FL

The entire Holladay team contributed to me feeling confident and safe and having a lot of fun as a private pilot. Everyone says Dana and Meredith are the best, and they are. But their whole team is amazing, and I know I’m getting the best possible instruction from any of their instructors. Now, I’m using them for my instrument rating.

Justin, Marketing Executive -- Jacksonville, FL

Throughout my training at Holladay Aviation, their staff was patience and accommodating. Great communication and coordination between staff in preparing you for the FAA exams and check ride.

Private Pilot

With a Private Pilot certificate, you can fly recreationally by yourself or with passengers in visual meteorological conditions (VMC). This means that you can control the aircraft solely by reference to the natural horizon. If you own a business, you may fly yourself to a job site or meeting. Some private pilots volunteer their services to transport goods or people for charitable organizations.

Instrument Rating

The Instrument Rating allows you to fly in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) such as clouds, fog or haze. IMC conditions exist when a pilot is unable to control the aircraft solely by reference to the natural horizon. Instrument rated pilots are trained to use the flight instruments and navigation equipment in the airplane to safely fly to their destination in less than ideal weather conditions.

Commercial Pilot

A Commercial Pilot certificate is required if you want to get paid to fly. Basic requirements include logging at least 250 hours of flight time. The Commercial Pilot certificate is the prerequisite for all flying jobs including flight instructor and corporate pilot. To qualify for a job as an airline pilot, you need 1,500 flight hours of flight time plus additional FAA and airline specific training.

Flight Review

The FAA requires all pilots to complete a Flight Review consisting of flight and ground training every 24 calendar months. This is a great opportunity for you to push yourself outside of your comfort zone, learn a new skill or technique, or even earn an additional certificate or rating!

IPC

The Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC) is a great way for instrument rated pilots to stay sharp and meet FAA requirements for flying under instrument flight rules (IFR). Think of the IPC as a “mini IFR boot camp” in which all of your flying skills will be put to the test.

Tailwheel Endorsement

Tailwheel airplanes such as our Sport Cub offer pilots a unique opportunity to sharpen their “stick and rudder” flying skills. Earning a tailwheel endorsement is widely considered a feather in a pilot’s cap. The tailwheel training program may also qualify as a Flight Review.
