Why Train at Skypark?
Located just ten minutes north of downtown Salt Lake City, FLT Academy’s Skypark Campus offers a premier environment for flight training. Positioned in the heart of northern Utah’s Wasatch Front, Skypark Airport (KBTF) provides the perfect balance between accessibility and efficiency — close to the Salt Lake metro area but away from the delays and congestion of major commercial airports.
An Ideal Training Environment
Skypark’s location allows students to take full advantage of Utah’s uniquely diverse airspace. Students fly near Class B airspace with regular exposure to Salt Lake City International (KSLC), a major commercial airport just a short flight away. This real-world proximity allows for hands-on experience communicating with air traffic control in busy, complex environments — a valuable skill for future airline pilots.
To the north, Hill Air Force Base and Ogden-Hinckley Airport offer additional layers of active airspace, giving students a dynamic and varied training ground. The surrounding landscape includes towering mountain ranges, expansive valleys, and multiple lakes — including the Great Salt Lake — all of which provide unique training conditions. FLT students gain firsthand experience in conditions that sharpen their skills and prepare them for real-world flying.
Efficient Operations, Real-World Experience
Because Skypark is a non-towered airport, students benefit from reduced ground delays, quick taxi times, and more time in the air — maximizing the value of each training flight. In just minutes, students can reach designated practice areas, navigate through complex airspace, and return to base without wasting precious time on the ground.
A Tight-Knit Training Community
While Skypark supports the full capabilities of a large-scale flight school, it maintains a community-driven, professional environment where students receive personalized instruction and mentorship. With access to FLT Academy’s full aircraft fleet, flight simulator technology, and structured training curriculum, Skypark students enjoy the resources of a top-tier academy within a close-knit campus atmosphere.
Whether you’re just starting your private pilot training or working toward your commercial certificate or instructor ratings, the Skypark Campus delivers the perfect combination of hands-on experience, modern equipment, and a vibrant location for becoming a confident and capable pilot.
