Our
unique flight training resources
Our training philosophy . . .
Our flight training philosophy differs substantially from other more traditional flight schools. We embrace the concept of scenario-based training based upon the FAA/Industry training (FITS) model. Rather than having our students go through rote training in local practice areas, each training flight is an actual missions in real weather to distant airports. By so doing, our students learn in the national airspace system where they will one day operate on their own. Our training destinations range from large east coast cities, to regional airports with delightful cafes, to mountain airstrips. We view the vagaries of weather as opportunities to impart critical skills rather than as reasons to remain sequestered in desk-top flight simulators and classrooms. Our training pilots learn how to make accurate go/no-go decisions, thereby minimizing the impact of weather as a major risk factor to aviation. Unlike other flight schools, we believe that the cockpit is the BEST classroom, for it is here that our training pilots will develop their proficiency. Our flight training professionals . . . BMFT employs only certificated flight instructors (CFIs) who have real-world experience in the national airspace system. Unlike many other flight schools, we do NOT employ inexperienced instructors fresh from being trained themselves and who choose to instruct solely to build necessary flight time to qualify for corporate or airline pilot jobs. Our instructors are professional pilots who happily share their aeronautical experiences with each of their students. The school is led by Bob Miller, CFII, ATP. Bob has been actively flying airplanes for over 30 years and has been teaching full-time for the past 10 years. He holds instrument, commercial, and airline transport pilot certificates and has logged over 8,000 hours of accident-free flight. He is also a Cessna Aircraft Company factory authorized transition instructor for its new high performance Cessna Corvalis aircraft. This is the fastest single engine, fixed gear, piston aircraft on the market today. Bob also holds a Masters Degree in Business Administration (MBA) from the City University of New York. Bob was recently inducted into the Western New York Aviation Hall of Fame for his contributions to aviation education and flight safety. In addition, Bob's weekly Aero-News Network flight training podcasts are listened to by over 20,000 pilots around the world. He is also a contributing editor for IFR Magazine. Bob also serves as Buffalo, NY's CBS Television affiliate WIVB Channel 4’s aviation analyst. He has also appeared on the ABC Good Morning America and NBC Today Show programs as an aviation expert. Bob also publishes a monthly online flight training publication that is read by over 15,000 pilots around the world. Titled “Over the Airwaves,” this widely acclaimed publication is rich with flight safety messages. You can access “Over the Airwaves” at http://OverTheAirwaves.com.
BMFT is one of a national network of officially designated Cessna Pilot Centers (CPCs). This formal affiliation with the Cessna Aircraft Company affords us access to the latest in computer-based, online instructional programs. This interactive system enables us to monitor the progress of each of our students as they advance at their own pace through a carefully designed home-study ground training curriculum. Equally important, our CPC computer-based learning program dramatically reduces both the time and cost of learning to fly or advancing through the pilot ratings. Our flight training aircraft . . . Unlike many flight schools that use air-weary, round-gauge relics of an earlier era, our training aircraft use only late model aircraft with 21st century instrument panels. Our aircraft are equipped with glass panels (Garmin G1000), uplink NEXRAD weather images, traffic and terrain collision alert systems, autopilots, and leather interiors. Our training fleet includes new and late model G1000-equipped Cessna 172SPs for primary and advanced instrument training. In addition, we also provide Light Sport training in a 2009 "Navigator 600LS." See photos below:
