What Students and Pilots Say

★★★★★ 1 month ago

I have been both a renter and student of RMFS for around 2 years now. I got my instrument rating here after changing flight schools. The value of this flight school is clear, affordable rates and instructors who are true aviators. The difference I have seen at RMFS is an instructor pool that cares about the love of flying. There are a solid mix of young instructors and experienced GA pilots who can offer really great…

Rocky Mountain Flight School is an awesome place to train. The community is incredibly supportive, the instructors are great, and the aircraft rates are very reasonable. You can tell the owner and manager genuinely care about the school and the people in it. Just an all-around great experience.

I absolutely love training at RMFS. The vibe I get from all the staff and other students is professional, down to earth, and supportive. The instruction I’ve had here has been excellent. I did a lot of research before picking this school, and this it is by far the best value you’re going to find. Not only is it more affordable compared to a lot of flight schools, but the quality of the instruction you receive here is…

Aside from many of the instructors I've trained with there, the flight school has turned into a good old boys club. Avoid the chief pilot (Dayton) and director of operations (Robyn) if you can, they scratch each other's backs and aren't the nice people they make themselves out to be. Also thought the owner would address the harassment and bullying complaints I made about the chief pilot, but he refused to listen to t…

Planning Your Training Here

Planning training at a local school like Rocky Mountain Flight School trades the academy's speed for flexibility and often meaningfully lower total cost. The pay-as-you-fly model keeps your money in your control, and training two to three lessons weekly around work is the proven rhythm, enough frequency to retain skills without the academy's all-in schedule. The variable to manage is momentum: local-school students who succeed book standing lesson slots, fly year-round, and treat ground study as homework rather than something that happens at the airport. Ask about aircraft scheduling depth, instructor availability on your target days, and examiner wait times in Broomfield, the three friction points that stretch part-time timelines.

What Flying in Colorado Teaches You

Training in Colorado means learning density altitude for real. Front Range airports sit around a mile above sea level, so students here calculate performance numbers that sea-level pilots only meet in textbooks, and summer afternoons teach genuine go and no-go judgment. The reward is airmanship: mountain wave, gusty frontal passages, and some of the busiest general aviation airspace in the country under Denver's Class B. Airline recruiters know what a Colorado logbook means.

How to Evaluate Rocky Mountain Flight School on Your Tour

Every school on this directory gets the same advice from us, because the fundamentals don't move. Walk the ramp and count how many aircraft are down for maintenance. Ask how many lessons a week they can actually schedule you, and how far out the booking calendar runs. Ask for first-attempt checkride pass rates and how long students wait for an examiner. And keep your money in your control: pay as you fly, or in small blocks with clear refund terms.

Then weigh the location itself. Training in Broomfield means building your early hours in Colorado weather and airspace, and both become part of your airmanship. Our school-selection guide covers the full vetting checklist, and the financing page maps scholarships and loans that apply at schools like this one.

Common Questions About Training at Rocky Mountain Flight School

How long would my training take here?

Part-time students flying two to three lessons weekly typically earn a private certificate in six to twelve months and a commercial certificate in two to three years, with pace set by your calendar and the weather. Consistency decides everything: standing lesson slots beat sporadic bursts by months.

What will it cost, and can I get help paying?

Get Rocky Mountain Flight School's current rates directly; published numbers age fast in this industry. Nationally, plan on $80,000 to $120,000 from zero time to commercial certificates before instructing pay starts offsetting costs. Our financing guide maps the loans, scholarships, and airline cadet programs that apply here, and several scholarship cycles go undersubscribed every single year.
