Kilo Charlie Aviation

Kilo Charlie Aviation is a flight training school in the Kansas City area. The school is approved by the FAA under Part 141. Its mailing address is in New Century, Kansas. It trains people who want to become pilots, from first lessons through to airline careers.

The company was started in 2020 by Robert Renfro and Andrew Konicek. Renfro is a commercial and corporate pilot. The site says Kilo Charlie later joined forces with US Aviation Academy. That school has worked for nearly two decades in pilot training, A and P mechanic programs and aircraft dispatch education. The merger adds Part 141 and Part 147 programs, services for VA and international students, and ties with colleges.

Courses include the Private Pilot Program, Instrument Rating, Career Pilot Program, CFI Academy and Multi-Engine Academy. The school also runs the LAUNCH Airline Pilot Pathway. It lists pathway programs with GoJet, through a CFI Cadet Program, and with SkyWest Airlines.

Training is done in Tecnam aircraft, and the school says it has a partnership with Tecnam. The site gives 21 airplanes, 18,000 flight hours and 25 years of experience as its key numbers. The company is listed with 51 employees.

The values of the school spell the word CLIMB. Its culture is built on professionalism, positivity and focus. Its mission is to break down barriers to a career in aviation. Graduates and students leave reviews and comments on the site.

The front desk and dispatch team work from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM every day of the week. People can call (913) 346-2746. The website also has a contact form and an application link for new students.
