Why Train at Skypark?

Skypark Airport offers the perfect location for flight training, close to the Salt Lake metro area, yet removed from the congestion of major commercial traffic. This allows for more efficient training flights, reduced ground delays, and more time in the air. Our Skypark campus provides quick access to both local practice areas and diverse terrain, helping students build real-world experience in a variety of flying conditions.

Skypark offers a smaller, community-driven atmosphere where students receive personalized attention and mentorship from experienced instructors. With access to FLT Academy’s full curriculum and fleet, Skypark students enjoy all the advantages of a large flight school while training in a tight-knit, professional setting that encourages growth and builds confidence in every stage of flight training.

Contour Airline Training Program

If you’re dreaming of flying jets and launching a career in commercial aviation, the Contour Airlines Training Program offers a fast track to the flight deck. Through our partnership with Contour Airlines, FLT Academy provides a one of a kind training experience that takes you from zero flight time to the airlines faster than traditional pathways. With this program, qualified pilots can begin flying jets with as few as 500 total flight hours — accelerating your career with unmatched speed and efficiency.

FLT Academy’s Career Track Program with SkyWest Airlines offers a direct pathway to the airlines. Students can benefit from $17,500 in tuition reimbursement, a guaranteed interview, and SkyWest seniority beginning on day one of training. This partnership is designed to give you a competitive edge and a clear route to becoming one of SkyWest’s more than 4,300 professional pilots, with FLT Academy guiding you every step of the way.

FLT Academy’s Examining Authority streamlines your path to certification. With special FAA approval, we’re able to conduct final flight evaluations in house, eliminating the need to wait for an external Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE). In today’s environment, where DPE availability can delay checkrides for weeks or even months, our Examining Authority allows students to test directly with our Chief or Assistant Chief Flight Instructor and move forward without unnecessary setbacks.

FLT Academy operates the largest fleet of training aircraft in Utah, giving students unmatched access to fly when and how they need. With modern avionics and a variety of aircraft to support every stage of training, you’ll spend less time waiting and more time in the air building hours, sharpening skills, and progressing confidently toward your career.
