Guidance Aviation provides professional pilot training in both helicopters and fixed wing aircraft. Their mission is to provide the highest standard of flight training available which includes utilizing the newest equipment and aircraft on the market.
Recently, the AOPA has pushed to have pilots rally for general aviation. Our response to the AOPA on this is, "We have been! Take a look at what Prescott, Arizona has done!"
Continuing it's support, the City of Prescott just released it's latest video, "Ernest A. Love Field" (below). So, if you want to see a great example of a City and an airport rallying and supporting general aviation, take a look at the City of Prescott and FlyPrescott.com.
The Prescott Municipal airport (KPRC) is one of the busiest and most robust airports in the U.S. Being the home to one of two campuses of the world reknown Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, the Prescott airport is a very unique and busy flight training environment. KPRC is the fourth (4th) busiest general aviation airport in the state of Arizona and is the 40th busiest general aviation airport in the country.
The Prescott Municipal Airport has an annual economic impact of approximately $68 million, providing valuable services beyond flight training to include mail, overnight packages, military support, search and rescue operations and the Forest Service support to name a few. It is clear the Prescott Municipal Airport is a vital part of the Prescott community and the state of Arizona.
So, if there ever was a City and community that rallies around general aviation, its Prescott, Arizona.
by FlyPrescott In mid to late March, the City of Prescott, Az. will be releasing it's video promoting the unique aviation assets of the City, the Prescott Municipal Airport (PRC). Prescott, Arizona is not only known for it's unparalleled natural beauty, it is consistently rated as one of the top places to live and most importantly is a leading aviation center.
The Prescott Airport is home to one of only two campusesin the United States for Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. ERAU is known globally for it's flight training, engineering, national security, business, and meteorology programs.
Also on the airfield are top flight training programs
offered by Guidance Aviation, both a fixed wing and high altitude helicopter training facility, North-Aire Aviation which has a wide variety of aircraft including amphibious and aerobatic aircraft as well as Ariz-Air flight training.
November, 2010 - As many may be aware, based on tenant supplied information that persons were relieving themselves in the open on the North Ramp by the self service fuel island, the City recently relocated the North Ramp Port-a-John by about 1200 feet to the North from the entrance gate near the self-serve fuel island. Since then we have received several calls about the relocation of the port-a-john. Understanding the hardships of this port-a-john relocation and in an effort to provide superior customer service, the City has ordered another port-a-john to be delivered in the next few weeks. This port-a-john will be placed next to the entrance gate.
