Why Draper students train with AeroTech

Worth the short drive from Draper

Draper pilots have a real, high-quality option a quick drive west: AeroTech Test at South Valley Regional (U42). You get one-on-one instruction, a flexible schedule, and instructors who treat your training as an individual plan rather than a class you were slotted into.

The flexibility is the point. A Part 61 program means you can build a training rhythm around work and family, flying when it actually fits your life — exactly how students reach a certificate without burning out.

And you will train across a genuine fleet — high-wing Cessnas, a complex Piper Arrow, and a Piper Seneca II twin — coming out a more adaptable, confident pilot than a single-airplane school can produce.

Training paths

Flight training for Draper students

Every program is flown across our four-aircraft fleet with one-on-one instruction. Flight instruction is $60/hour and Discovery Flights start at $65 — how often you fly is the biggest factor in your total cost.

Private Pilot License

Where most students begin. The PPL builds the foundation of everything in aviation — real stick-and-rudder skill, aeronautical knowledge, and sound judgment.

Instrument Rating (IFR)

Instrument training sharpens precision, situational awareness, and cockpit discipline — for pilots who want true all-weather capability.

Commercial License (CPL)

Commercial training is about refinement, consistency, and professionalism — the standard required to fly for compensation.

Multi-Engine Rating

Add a second engine. Multi-engine training builds the systems knowledge and engine-out discipline that professional flying demands — in our own Piper Seneca II.

Flight Instructor (CFI · CFII · MEI)

Teach what you love. Instructor certifications turn a commercial pilot into a professional educator — and the fastest way to build hours toward the airlines.

Mountain & Specialty Flying

Utah-specific skill: mountain flying, Class Bravo airspace, spin training, and biennial flight reviews for pilots who want to fly sharp and safe.
