A
BRIEF HISTORY AND INTRODUCTION
The
Brookville Airpark has a great history in the flight school business.
For the past 15 years, the Brookville Airpark has been a Part
141 qualified flight school, but also operated under Part 61 as
student needs dictated. Part 141 flight schools require the FAA
to make an onsite inspection of all Part 141 records and aircraft
on a regular basis. Instructors must be approved by the chief
flight instructor before instructing students and each student
must follow an approved training course outline. One part of these
onsite inspections includes an FAA review of the pass / fail rate.
If the rate is deemed inadequate by FAA inspectors, the flight
school is put on probation until the next inspection. Brookville
Airpark was never placed on probation for any reason.
The
Brookville Airpark has trained hundreds of pilots, from private
pilot certificates through multi-engine instructor ratings. Some
of these pilots have furthered their careers and now fly for major
airlines, commuter airlines, and corporate aviation. Others still
continue to enjoy the freedom and enjoyment that flying brings
them and are able to share that experience with friends and family,
giving rides or renting an airplane for that weekend getaway.
On
March 5, 2000, Wolf Creek Aviation, Inc. purchased the flight
school from its previous owners as a turnkey operation. Over
the past few years, because of changes to Part 61, the advantages
of training under Part 141 have been greatly diminished. As a
result, when Wolf Creek Aviation, Inc. began operations, it was
determined that current student participation did not warrant
the extra time and expense involved in operating a flight school
under Part 141. Therefore, we chose not to keep the Part 141 authority.
However, if the participation level were to change, Wolf Creek
Aviation, Inc. could gain approval from the FAA for a Part 141
flight school.
Wolf
Creek Aviation, Inc., a flight school, has as its primary goal,
the production of safe and knowledgeable pilots. As a result,
our emphasis is more on quality training rather than quickie ratings.
We have an interest in every individual and tailor our training
program to best benefit each student as necessary depending on
experience levels and needs.
