TRAINING FIT
Our school review.
Huffman’s published instructor sequence and twin-engine offering make it relevant to students considering more than an initial certificate. The fleet gives concrete choices to discuss, especially when moving from a basic trainer into complex, high-performance or multiengine flying. Ask how much familiarization would be needed if your course changes aircraft.
The school advertises an on-site examiner, but test dates and fees still need confirmation. Request a stage-by-stage estimate and clarify the aircraft used for tailwheel instruction, since that course’s model is not identified on the reviewed fleet page.
