“A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step.”

— Laozi, (Taoist philosopher, China, 4th Century B.C.)

Welcome to TakeWING — The First Step of Your Journey Begins Here

TakeWING is the leading Cessna Pilot Center and aviation club in Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County. If you are considering learning to fly and don’t know how or where how to begin, or you are already a pilot, you’ve come to the right place. We offer flight reviews, instrument training, and G1000 training.

Choose your flight school wisely, don't be fooled by "independent" flight instructors or schools offering "best-rate" plans and block-time discounts which may sound attractive but have other hidden fees or part-time flight instructors who are not fully involved and committed to your training.

Learning to fly is a life fulfilling educational investment — TakeWING helps your investment go farther because:

TakeWING brings you safety and training efficiency with full motion flight simulation and reliable aircraft. Using our RedBird full motion flight simulator you won't experience gaps in your training due to weather or aircraft mechanical delays. You can fly it with or without your current instructor!

Using Cessna's modern web-based ground school program enhances your learning experience incorporating videos and lesson previews so you can prepared and review for each session.

Flight instruction is One-On-One (one student / one instructor) and tailored to your schedule.

Small is BIG—Yes, we do operate out of a smaller "non-towered" airport near Eugene. That's so we can get you in the air and learning quickly with less of your money spent in "taxi time." But don't be fooled by the small airport size, Creswell Airport is actually one of the busiest non-towered airports in Oregon. And, since we are just a short hop away from the Eugene Airport, you'll be learning to talk confidently over the radio to ATC sooner than you think!

As a Cessna Pilot Center we teach using realistic scenario based training methods. This FAA approved method integrates skills training with aeronautical decision making and risk management training. By embedding carefully crafted, realistic events into each training session, you learn to become a safer pilot.

TakeWING does not require an up-front down payment for flight training to begin. No hidden fees.
