Flight Student, rusty pilot or simply fly the Caribbean?
Whether you are ready to learn to fly, upgrade your rating, need to brush up your skills or want to fly with your FAA or EASA license in a different country why not above lush nature, turquoise waters and different island nations in the Caribbean? ​
​
The Caribbean, and especially the Dominican Republic, offer a variety of airports, from big international hubs to small towered and untowered airstrips.
Should you be in need for a FAA Flight Review and be in the Dominican Republic, no need to fly to the USA.
And since 2024 not even for FAA checkrides: We are proud to announce the availability of a FAA DPE for Airplane and Helicopter checkrides in the Dominican Republic with Kenneth Ramos, upon request!
For other islands we recommend FAA DPE Cleo Hodge in St Thomas, US Virgin Islands.
We offer tailor made solutions for students as well as skilled pilots in the Caribbean. Plus you can learn to file flight plans, border crossing and much more with an experienced FAA CFII instructor.
Our team comprises experienced Pilots and Teaching Professionals. All of us are living in the Caribbean or in Florida.
We are familiar with the Bahamas and the Caribbean since more than 25 years.

Since 2016 we rebuilt our Beach Houses on the beautiful beach 'Playa Bonita', Samana Peninsula, and converted it into Vacation Rentals. It is a laid back place, ideal for flying-aficionados: students and pilots alike and their partners. Our rental places are called Playa Bonita Beach Houses and listed on Airbnb.
The Caribbean from above
The Caribbean and the Bahamas seen from above are simply amazing. Both regions offer completely different impressions, and not one Caribbean island is alike the other.
