Professional staff. CFI Glenn did a professional and great work and this year I got my instrument rating. For my commercial I am sure I will do that in Cavu Flight Academy ( I am writing on behalf of my dad)

I highly, highly recommend Molly Ness at CAVU's Oshkosh location for advanced and beginner flight instruction. She is experienced, professional, and highly certified. She's also very easy to get along with, and is excellent at articulating complex procedures and concepts. Due to my moving out-of-state, my education with Molly was, regrettably, cut short. But if the opportunity should arise, I will go very far out…

Great flight school. Very laid back, no non-sense flight training. Woody is more than fair with prices. They run night classes for the private pilot and instrument pilot written tests. The flight instructors are well spoken, and tailor their style to each student.

Took a discovery flight with Trent and was an incredible experience. He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what he does as well as making me feel comfortable throughout the process. He was a great instructor. Highly recommend!

Planning Your Training Here

Planning training at a local school like CAVU 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 Green Bay, the three friction points that stretch part-time timelines.

What Flying in Wisconsin Teaches You

Wisconsin owns one week of the world's busiest airspace, Oshkosh during EAA AirVenture, when the state becomes aviation's capital and its approach procedures become legend. The other fifty-one weeks deliver Great Lakes weather, hard winters, and a grassroots flying culture as deep as anywhere in America.

How to Evaluate CAVU 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 Green Bay means building your early hours in Wisconsin 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 CAVU 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 CAVU 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 Green Bay, 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.
