The health and welfare of our staff and students is of utmost importance to our organization. Social distancing is one way to help slow the spread of COVID-19. AFI has implemented new temporary procedures for flight training and refueling. AFI will be accepting new students at this time. Leisure flights are not permitted at this time.

​

Arriving at AFI

​

AFI's lobby will be closed to the public until further notice. Only scheduled students will be permitted on the premises during this time. When arriving, please proceed to the front door. Students will need to be "buzzed" in by pressing the doorbell, then holding the "talk" button, state your name and reason for visiting at the main entrance.  Before arriving, please complete THIS questionnaire, NO MORE THAN 1 hour prior to arrival. This questionnaire must be completed prior to every lesson. Those without a completed questionnaire may be denied access to the AFI campus. 

​

During Your Flight

​

At the direction of management, and in compliance with state health protocols, all flight instructors will be wearing face coverings as well as optional gloves to prevent the spread of the virus. Gloves are available for students upon request. Face coverings must be worn while on AFI premises. Those without masks will be denied entry. All training flights will end 30 minutes prior to the end of the block to allow time for sanitation of the cockpit for the next flight. For students utilizing AFI headsets, rest assured that they are disinfected at the start of our operating day as well as after every use.

​

Refueling Operations

​

We ask that all customers wear a face covering while refueling at the fuel pump. Gloves are available on request.

​

Post Flight

​

Lesson debriefs will once again be conducted in the AFI classroom or Pilot Patio. During the debrief, aircraft keys, AFI headsets, etc. will be returned to the office by the instructor or office personnel. 

​

​

Payment

​

AFI will accept Cash, Check, or Debit/Credit Cards. We highly encourage our customers to place a card on file at this time.

​

​

AFI highly recommends that individuals that are at higher risk for complications from COVID-19 refrain from flight training at this time.

​

Higher risk groups include:

 

Older Adults (65+)

 

Individuals with compromised immune systems

 

Individuals who have serious chronic medical conditions like:

Heart disease

Diabetes

Lung disease
