When you are up in the air for the first time in a little Cessna, it can be a bit nerve-racking. You must make sure the person who’s taking you up can be trusted to first fly the plane but also to land it. I’ll tell you what: I got really lucky: not only did Bailey not crash me into the ground, but she made me feel like I was a star of the world. She is an amazing person and a really good baker, but an even better teacher. Bailey helped me pass my oral and practical test the first time around. There was never a single day that Bailey didn’t make me laugh, and she would really make sure you had a complete understanding of the subject before moving on. Out of all the instructors that I have had, Bailey is by far the best.

A good CFI in Montana can be hard to find, but Lewistown has one of the best. If you're looking for a Discovery Flight, some Instruction, or a Flight Review, Bailey with Heading Aviation has you covered. I was in need of some instruction for a Commercial rating and Bailey made certain I was 100 percent ready for the check-ride. Thanks Again Bailey.

Heading Aviation helped me to achieve my dream of being a pilot. Bailey is an excellent teacher with a wealth of knowledge to share. She always made me feel comfortable when demonstrating maneuvers and helping me learn them. Bailey was there for me from hour one through my checkride. I highly recommend Heading Aviation.

Heading Aviation has been awesome to work with. I have not been able to commit the amount of time I had originally anticipated. Bailey has been extremely accomodating. I am getting there slowly, but cannot imagine a better experience or an instructor to help reach my goal.
