Learn to fly with M & M Aviation & Sauk Valley Community College
Members Standard Operation Procedures
M & M Aviation was created out of love for flying
and our desire to deliver the best in aviation education and pilot
services. Based at the Whiteside County Airport in Rock Falls, our
pilot flight training program follows standards established by the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Currently, FAA regulations
require a minimum of 40 hours of flying for a Private Pilot
Certification. Within these 40 hours, you will receive 20 hours of
flight training with a federally licensed flight instructor, and at
least 10 hours of solo flying by you, the student. Our average total
time per student has proven to be around 50-55 hours which is
significantly less than the national average of 65-70 hours.
Through a cooperative agreement with the Sauk Valley Community
College, M & M Aviation now offers all the aviation-based education
at the college. This includes private pilot and instrument pilot
ground school classes. Both classes are taught using computer- based
materials and learning aids. The ground school classes are intensive
looks at all the knowledge material needed to pass the FAA written
exam for that rating. Sauk can and does supply the support staff and
facilities to make your ground training a comprehensive and
successful experience. In fact, we are so sure you will succeed with
our ground school program that we can even GUARANTEE your success!!
When you’re ready, you can even take all FAA exams right at our Rock
Falls facility as we an official C.A.T.S. Testing Center for
all FAA and FCC tests. If your Schedule does not permit a regularly
scheduled class at Sauk Valley Community College, we also teach all
the ground school training required by all ratings on the more
traditional one-on-one basis at our facility at the Whiteside County
Airport.
Our training program is structured toward you, the individual,
whether you are an academic student, in the work force or retired.
There is no specific time for the completion of your training.
Optimistically, flying 2-3 times week is best; however, we realize
that this is not always possible, so we structure our training
program to meet your personal schedule. Generally, the program can
be completed within 4-6 months. The basic training aircraft we use
includes the Piper Cherokee140 and the Piper Warrior.
Advanced training can be done in our Piper Arrow (Retractable
gear). Both of these aircraft are extremely popular trainers and are
also the type of aircraft that many people go on to own as their
personal aircraft. They are very well maintained, meeting or
exceeding strict FAA guidelines and our own high standards.
Your training may begin immediately, at your convenience. M & M
Aviation and Sauk Valley C. C. employ federally certified,
professional flight instructors. They are available seven days a
week, virtually any time of the day (and sometimes night!) and all
year long. We encourage you to begin your training TODAY.
Take advantage of our $49 Discovery Ride, during which you
will fly the aircraft under the watchful eye of your flight
instructor.
