Absolutely fantastic place to learn aviation. Staff is great and welcoming and you never get the feeling they’re just after an hourly rate. Great at transferring knowledge and keeping safety a priority. Most importantly, it’s not so busy that you can’t progress quickly. There’s usually an available time slot that fits into your schedule. And a good selection of aircraft too. Quit procrastinating and give them a cal…

I didn't know what to expect when I booked my discovery flight. Everyone should experience flying a plane at least once, I can not believe I waited as long as did to this. Thank you to Ray for the lovely flight and introduction to flying.

Good afternoon. Just replying back to you regarding the Discovery Flight I had with Tim on June 5th Tim was a very good instructor and made the flying experience great. I learned quite a bit doing the preflight with him as well. After talking to my wife and letting her know how much I enjoyed everything. I am going to look into earning my PPL. Thank you once again.

Planning Your Training Here

Planning training at a local school like Twin Cities Flight 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 Blaine, the three friction points that stretch part-time timelines.

What Flying in Minnesota Teaches You

Minnesota is float country second only to Alaska, ten thousand lakes and a seaplane culture to match, wrapped in winters that teach the full cold-weather craft. Delta's Minneapolis hub anchors the airline end, and the state's flying calendar swings from midsummer lake landings to January preheats without apology.

How to Evaluate Twin Cities Flight 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 Blaine means building your early hours in Minnesota 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 Twin Cities Flight

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 Twin Cities Flight'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?
