What Students and Pilots Say

★★★★★ 1 year ago

I've gotten my instrument rating and commercial license here. Currently working on CFI and CFII at Executive. The training here is top notch and nothing comes close to it in Southern Utah. With an on-site FAA approved simulator and two new Cirrus aircraft, you can't beat it. The owner is present and there are plenty of experienced instructors to choose and learn from. There are study rooms if you need. Most important…

My grandson has shown interest in aviation so we searched the capabilities that exist at St. George Airport. I talked with a few, some did not return the call but Executive Flight Academy was responsive and offered an initial "Discovery Flight" that was an ideal introduction to flying. The Cirrus SR20 aircraft is a modern trainer with the best safety and navigation features available. Best of all, we were fortunate…

Quite simply, Alex made aviation possible for me. I am a Utah-based business owner. My business serves the broadcasting industry. My client stations cover a wide geographic area. Many are in smaller communities that are poorly served by commercial aviation. As the business grew, it became clear that commercial aviation was inadequate to serve my needs. I simply could not get where I needed to be when I needed t…

Great service even after hours. Short wait time for jet fuel. Friendly staff and CAA pricing. Looking forward to experiencing their new location next time we’re in KSGU!

Planning Your Training Here

Planning training at a local school like Executive Flight Academy 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 Executive Flight Academy 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 Executive Flight Academy

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 Executive Flight Academy'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 St. George, 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.
