FLIGHT TRAINING
Heartland Aviation has a staff of Certified Flight Instructors who can teach you to fly! Meet our Flight Instructors.
Heartland Aviation offers personalized instruction for pilots seeking their Recreational, Private, Instrument and Commercial pilot ratings.
For those who are just starting, we offer a discovery flight to allow you take a closer look at flying general aviation aircraft.
Training is scheduled at YOUR pace. As with any learning process, the more often you can train the less you have to "re-learn" as you go along. An ideal schedule would have you taking a lesson at least once per week, preferably twice. About six months is a reasonable time to complete the process.
Financing is available through 3rd parties such as pilotfinance.com.
