State of the art Utah Campuses
FLT Academy operates out of two strategic locations in Utah—Skypark Airport (BTF) and Spanish Fork Airport (SPK)—giving students flexibility, convenience, and unmatched access to diverse flight environments.
Skypark Campus – North Salt Lake City
FLT Academy’s main campus is located at Skypark Airport, just 10 minutes north of downtown Salt Lake City. As a non-towered airport, Skypark allows for quick departures and landings, minimizing delays and maximizing time spent in the air learning. Students benefit from close proximity to Salt Lake City’s Class B airspace, which means nearly every flight includes real-world practice with Air Traffic Control communication and complex airspace navigation—a critical part of professional pilot training.
Our Skypark location is also home to two FAA-approved, motion-capable AATD flight simulators, offering students a cost-effective, highly realistic way to train for instrument procedures, emergency scenarios, and cockpit resource management.
Spanish Fork Campus – South of Provo
Our second training campus is located at Spanish Fork Airport, just south of Provo. Like Skypark, this location offers a non-towered environment for efficient flight operations and minimal ground delays. Spanish Fork provides access to less congested airspace, making it ideal for focused flight maneuver practice, pattern work, and scenario-based training without busy air traffic.
This campus is fully staffed with instructors, maintenance support, and modern training aircraft, an AATD flight simulator, and offers the same high-quality instruction and training resources found at our main location.
Consistent Quality, Multiple Locations
Whether you train at Skypark or Spanish Fork, you’ll receive the same structured curriculum, modern fleet access, and dedicated support from FLT Academy’s team. Both campuses are optimized for efficient scheduling, safe operations, and a strong foundation for your aviation goals.
HIGH-TECH FLEET OF AIRCRAFT
What will you be flying when you enroll with FLT Academy? Each aircraft in our fleet is equipped with glass-panel avionics like the Garmin G1000 and Dynon SkyView. Additionally, multiple AATD flight simulators are available so you can train even when weather isn’t permitting.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Learning to fly is a dream for many, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have questions. Here are a few of our most frequently asked questions, and you can see our whole list on our FAQ page.
Is flight training safe?
Yes. Not only does our pilot training put safety at the forefront, but so do our practices both in the air and on the ground— at every moment. Before our students test for their pilot’s rating, we make sure they are experts in safety, readily equipped with the knowledge and experience necessary to handle any situation. When you’re not in one of our aircraft, you can be assured that all of its maintenance needs are being met.
Our planes are inspected every 50 and 100 hours by our in-house seasoned mechanics. Each plane is seen by our maintenance staff twice a month and sometimes more. There is no expense spared in the maintenance and safety of our planes. It makes all the difference.
How long does flight school take?
Training duration depends on the program, certificate, and/or ratings you are pursuing as well as whether you are enrolled in the accelerated or less-accelerated program. Students who are available for training more frequently are able to complete their training in less time. Please visit our programs page for insight into each estimated completion timeline.
How many flight hours are required for a pilot’s certificate?
Again, this depends on the program, but certificated pilots must spend a good amount of time in the sky, as well as on the ground with a pencil in hand. In-air experience is critical and teaches valuable lessons that can’t be accomplished in a simulator alone. Our students will spend many hours in one of our aircraft with a professional instructor during their flight training.

What does an introductory flight include?
An intro flight is the perfect kickstart to following your dreams of a career in aviation. Individuals will take to the skies in one of our aircraft with a trained flight instructor, gaining a birds-eye view of the ground while receiving valuable insights. The intro flight is a hands-on experience, allowing individuals to take the controls into their own hands and get a feel for the flight.
If you would like to schedule an introductory flight, you can do so in our online store.
