I’ve been going to FLT since October, I attended a different flight school before that I will leave nameless. I can definitively say coming over to FLT was one of my best decisions. I’m progressing so much faster, retaining so much more knowledge, and they just have so much more resources to aid you in your journey. Financing is easy, their fleet is expansive and modern, the instructors are knowledgeable and super ex…

FLT Academy is a great place to take your kids for a little adventure. We got to sit on the deck and watch the planes take off and land. Also, Chandler let my granddaughter sit in an airplane and push buttons, it was super fun for her! Thank you!

Planning Your Training Here

Planning training at a local school like FLT 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 Woods Cross, 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 FLT 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 Woods Cross 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 FLT 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 FLT 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 Woods Cross, 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.
