Why train with us?

We have the newest, most diverse, and most advanced fleet of training/rental aircraft and simulators of any flight school in Idaho. Over 30 pilots have earned ratings through us in the past 12 months, with an extremely high pass rate. Compare us to any other school in the area, these results demonstrate the effectiveness of our training methods.

The aircraft that we regularly use for private pilot training are our Sling NGTs, Piper Archer, and our Cessna 172. We encourage you to try out each one to see which plane suits you best. These aircraft have trained hundreds of pilots in Idaho to fly.

What does it take to get a private pilot certificate?

We do not charge monthly dues or sign up fees unlike most flight schools. We recommend students budget $10,000-$15,000 for a private pilot certificate. Some students learn quicker than others, and preparedness and frequency or flight lessons have a great impact on the total cost of your training.

All pilots are required to pass a medical exam. We required our students to obtain their medical certificate before their first lesson with us. This ensures us as a flight school as well as the students that there are no unforeseen roadblocks concerning a student’s medical that would interrupt their training progress

Another step in obtaining your private pilot’s license involves completing ground school. We partner with King Schools and are able to give a discounted course code to our students. Finishing your ground school will then endorse you to take the written test. Additionally, every few months we offer Elements of Aviation classes where students can come and learn about aviation’s biggest topics with our GCA instructors. This encourages students to learn in-person, ask questions, and get to know other students who are learning with us as well!
