Pilot training program facility construction is underway this summer

Coast Flight’s expansion project has “taken off,” and in a few short months students seeking their pilot’s certification will have even more space to accomplish that goal as it expands its hanger at San Marcos Regional Airport.

“It's basically a remodel already underway,” said Heath Jameson, president of Coast Flight. “We’re taking part of the hanger, about a third, and remodeling it into office space, classrooms– the type of space Coast will use for flight training in the future.”

Training, Jameson said, includes academic instruction, time in a simulator, instruction in single and multi-engine aircraft … created to be an all-inclusive program that provides a clear pathway to becoming an airline pilot.
