Truckee Flight Training

Take flight lessons and learn to fly an airplane at Truckee Tahoe Airport, North Lake Tahoe, California.  

 Course Offerings

Mountain Flying 

Take your flying to the next level while flying into some of the more challenging, high elevation airports in the U.S. Learn to handle mountain cross winds like a pro, and build the skills necessary to travel as safely as possible in the mountains.

Private Pilot

A Private Pilot certificate never expires, and gives you the freedom to fly yourself and passengers to airports around the country, day or night. While the time investment required to become a Private Pilot varies, 100 hours of flight and ground instruction is a good estimate for students who complete an online ground school and study diligently. (65 hours of flight training + 35 hours of supplementary ground training).

 

Instrument Pilot

Learn to fly through clouds and in poor visibility relying solely on reference to flight instruments. With an instrument rating, that persistent fog layer over the Bay will no longer mean wrestling traffic, or keep you from your weekend in Tahoe. Ever wonder why the pros have so few accidents compared to G.A pilots? Learn the tricks of the trade from an instructor who built her skill flying air ambulance, charter, and for a scheduled airline before returning to flight instruction as a career.

 

Training also available for commercial, CFI, and ATP ratings.
