GET TO KNOW THE SCHOOL
A closer look.
Current training operations for Greg Collins in Hendersonville could not be confirmed. The directory’s former website link is an EAA Chapter 1335 examiner-search resource for Piqua, Ohio; that page does not identify Greg Collins or substantiate North Carolina courses. A first-person October 2024 update by Greg Collins identifies his operation as Blue Ridge Sport Flight and describes flood damage to its training aircraft and a rebuilding effort. That dated update establishes context, but it does not verify today’s training aircraft, airport, enrollment availability or examiner authorizations.
Supplied-link mismatch
The linked EAA resource is a general AME/DPE search page for an Ohio chapter, not a verified Greg Collins school website.
Dated operator update
A first-person October 2024 fundraising update identifies Blue Ridge Sport Flight and describes rebuilding after flooding; it does not establish current operations.
Published training options.
Specific courses could not be confirmed from the accessible sources. Ask the school which certificates, ratings, and aircraft are currently available.
Aircraft & training scope
Aircraft categories: Confirm with the school
Aircraft models: A current model list was not established from the reviewed sources. Ask which aircraft or training device your course uses.
General EAA courses and resources cannot be attributed to this individual listing.
Current training operations and fleet could not be verified from a dedicated official school site.
Training framework & verification
Part 61: Part 61 inferred in supplied source; not independently confirmed. A source listing is not a current FAA approval check or a quality rating.
FAA reference: faa.gov. Confirm the approved course and training location with the school. Part 61 describes training rules; it does not itself identify an FAA-certificated school.
TRAINING FIT
Our school review.
A prospective student should first establish whether the current service is flight instruction, practical-test examining or both. Those are different arrangements, and the supplied EAA search page cannot answer the question. Request the present operating airport and direct official website, then verify a specific course and aircraft before comparing this entry with active schools. The older rebuilding update is a reason to seek current confirmation, not evidence that the operation remains closed.
