New Flight School, Performance Flight, opens at Westchester County Airport (KHPN), White Plains, NY

The newest Cirrus Standardized Training Center, Performance Flight, is now open offering flight training at all levels. Located at Westchester County Airport, Performance Flight is the only Cirrus training center in Westchester, Rockland, and Fairfield, CT, and the closest to Manhattan.

Performance Flight will teach students on brand new 2007 model Cirrus Aircraft, the safest and most advanced plane available in its class. The fleet includes SR20-GTS’s, SR22-GTS’s, and an SR22-GTS Turbo. Also available is a 2007 Diamond Twinstar (serial #45) for those seeking to earn their multi-engine rating.

Performance Flight boasts one of the most sophisticated simulators available. The Cirrus-specific Frasca Flight Training Device features a real Cirrus Cockpit complete with dual controls, Garmin 430’s, CAPS (Cirrus Airframe Parachute System), S-TEC 55X Autopilot, deicing, active circuit breakers, and much more. It’s perfect for all pilots as well as companion training.

It is one of only two systems that have been certified by the FAA as a Level 1 Flight Training Device. “This level of certification allows you to substitute simulator hours for flying time and provides you with an opportunity to safely practice emergency procedures, such as deploying the parachute, or landing in high wind conditions,” says Lewis Liebert, President & CEO of Performance Flight.

Learning to fly has never been easier and never safer. Performance Flight instructors have an average of more than 3,100 hours experience, none with less than 1,400, which is several times greater than other flight schools. “We have a well informed and very demanding clientele,” says Liebert, “and we intend on offering them the absolute best instruction possible.”

Performance Flight offers a complete array of flight training services including obtaining your private pilot license, instrument and commercial ratings, and multi-engine instruction. All planes, including the SR20-GTS, SR22-GTS Turbo, and the Diamond Twinstar, are available for training and rental. No matter what your level of flight experience, Performance Flight will provide the most comprehensive and advanced training available.
