About
MB Airworks provides Cessna 172 aircraft for flight training with independent certificated flight instructors at Miami Executive Airport (KTMB). Students have the flexibility to select their own independent CFI while gaining access to dependable, well-maintained aircraft for private pilot training, instrument training, flight reviews, proficiency flying, and time building. Our aircraft are equipped to support both primary and advanced training, including a 160-horsepower Cessna 172N and a 180-horsepower Cessna 172P. Both aircraft offer the familiar handling, stability, and operating characteristics that have made the Cessna 172 one of the most widely used training aircraft in aviation. MB Airworks is designed for students and independent instructors who want a flexible alternative to training. Independent CFIs are welcome to instruct in our aircraft, allowing students to work directly with the instructor of their choice and schedule training based on their individual availability and goals. In addition to flight training, our aircraft are available to qualified pilots for time building, currency, flight reviews, instrument proficiency, and personal rental. We also work with schools and educational programs seeking to connect students with real-world aircraft access and independent flight instruction. Located at Miami Executive Airport, MB Airworks serves student pilots, independent CFIs, licensed pilots, and aviation programs throughout Miami-Dade and South Florida.
