Seven airframes. One standard.
The right airframe for where you are — and where you're headed.
Most instruction is built around one airplane. Hill Flights is built around the pilot. Primary training in honest trainers, instrument work in stable platforms, multi-engine discipline in the Seminole — and when the mission calls for it, the turbocharged Cirrus SR22T. Every airframe, taught to the same standard.
The fleet
From classic trainers to the multi-engine Seminole and the turbocharged SR22T, instruction is available across the spectrum — each airframe chosen for what it teaches best.
Cessna 172S
Single-Engine TrainerThe world's most trusted trainer, equipped with the Garmin G1000 glass flight deck. The ideal platform for primary training and glass-cockpit fundamentals.
Piper PA-28-140
Cherokee · Classic TrainerThe classic Cherokee — honest handling and analog discipline. Where stick-and-rudder fundamentals are built without a screen to lean on.
Piper PA-28-151
WarriorThe Warrior's tapered wing and forgiving manners make it a refined step in the Cherokee line — primary and cross-country training with classic instrumentation.
Piper PA-28-161
Warrior II / IIIThe 160-horsepower Warrior — a stable instrument platform for building precision in the system, commonly flown with GNS and GTN navigators.
Piper PA-28-180
Cherokee 180More power, more useful load, more reach. The Cherokee 180 carries cross-country training and complex airspace work with ease.
Piper PA-44-180
Seminole · Multi-EngineThe multi-engine standard. Engine-out discipline, VMC mastery, and the path to your multi-engine rating — taught by an MEI who insists on precision when it matters most.
Cirrus SR22T
High-Performance SingleTurbocharged, CAPS-equipped, and flown behind the Perspective+ flight deck. Transition training, type-specific instruction, and recurrent proficiency with a Cirrus Certified instructor.
Whatever you fly, fly it like it matters.
When the mission outgrows the airplane
For pilots stepping into high performance — a turbocharged envelope, known-ice capability, flight at altitude — transition training covers the systems, the decision-making, and the discipline the new airplane demands. Branden is Cirrus Certified in the SR22T and teaches the transition as a system, not a checklist.
Plan Your Transition
Fluent in every panel
Glass or analog, integrated or federated — instruction that meets you at your panel and makes you fluent in it.
Garmin G1000
The industry-standard glass cockpit. Flight plan management, automation philosophy, and failure modes — mastered, not memorized.
Garmin G3000
Touchscreen-controlled integrated avionics. Advanced automation and flight-deck management for the most modern panels.
Garmin G500
Retrofit glass displays paired with legacy navigators — the bridge between analog airframes and modern situational awareness.
Garmin GNS 430
The navigator that defined an era. Approach loading, sequencing, and workflow on the unit still flying in thousands of panels.
Garmin GTN 650
Touchscreen navigation with modern approach capability. Clean workflows for single-pilot IFR.
The Six-Pack
Traditional round gauges — where instrument scans are built and where partial-panel skills separate proficient pilots from passengers.
