Aircraft Fleet

Central Washington University's designated flight contractor, IASCO Flight Training, operates a fleet of Cessna 172R and Beechcraft BE-76 aircraft for flight training. Private pilot, instrument, and portions of commercial training occur with the 172R fleet. Commercial multi-engine training is done with the BE-76, with a single-engine add-on done later on in the 172R. Additionally, a Cessna 172RG is utilized for Certificated Flight Instructor (CFI) training.
