What Students and Pilots Say

I believe Above View FBO was bought out by Millionaire. However, they still offer maintenance services. I flew from Vegas to St. George and my transponder wasn’t sending my altitude and I lost all traffic. When I landed, Millionaire gave me Justin’s number and he was fantastic. We were there for a Doctor’s appointment, so we had only planned on being there for a couple of hours. Within 30 mins, he had already found a…

Excellent service and very friendly. We landed there in a 182 and were picked up at our plane, no fees and fair price on fuel. They brought a rental car over to us so we did not even have to stand in line for that. A lovely experience and we will be going back.

I did a checkout to rent N172KS. Great service and support from Andrea at the desk.. Ryan was a fantastic CFI--laid back, but alert. About as close to pilot's paradise as I have seen.

My experience with Above View FBO came up short of the service I've experienced with other FBOs through my professional flying career. Two days before I was planning to arrive, I called Above View to set up a rental car for my passengers. They assured me that they would have the car plane-side, ready to go. Because I was planning to arrive at 7:00 am on a Saturday, I didn't want to leave anything to chance. So I sent…

Planning Your Training Here

Planning training at a local school like Above View, LLC. 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 St. George, the three friction points that stretch part-time timelines.

What Flying in Utah Teaches You

Utah is mountain flying's front door: high field elevations, real density altitude arithmetic, and terrain that makes weather-and-route planning a first-order skill. Students train under Salt Lake's Class B with the Wasatch Range as a constant reference, and graduate comfortable in the kind of terrain that intimidates flatland pilots.

How to Evaluate Above View, LLC. 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 St. George means building your early hours in Utah 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 Above View, LLC.

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 Above View, LLC.'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.

A school proud of its operation will show you everything; hesitation is itself an answer.
