What Students and Pilots Say

★★★★★ 1 year ago

If you are looking to learn to fly or just enjoy a cruise around the skies of Delta County, you should definitely contact Ben and Colorado Flight School. My husband purchased a Discovery Flight for me as a gift, and before the 45-minute flight was over, I knew I needed to spend more time in the air cruising in CFS's Cessna 182. There are other flight schools around, but what makes CFS different is the instructors. I'…

Awesome instructors! Its a fun and great place to learn to fly. They have a flight simulator that does single and multi engine training. The only place to my knowledge on the western slope that offers simulator training and time. Its great for currency for IFR raitings as well! The 182 they offer instruction in gives you your high performance raiting. A huge bonus when flying over the high elevations of Colorado.

I was really nervous to get a flight review because I haven't been flying for awhile. I was very pleasantly surprised that Ben was so professional and put me at ease immediately. The flight and review was not only very helpful but fun as well. I would highly recommend Colorado Flight School.

Planning Your Training Here

Planning training at a local school like Colorado 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 Delta, 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 Colorado 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 Delta 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 Colorado 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 Colorado 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.

How should I arrange a visit?

Call ahead and ask for a tour on a normal training day, not a quiet one. Use the directions button above to plan the drive to Delta, arrive early enough to watch ramp operations, and bring the vetting checklist from this page. A school proud of its operation will show you everything; hesitation is itself an answer.
