Leading Edge Flight Training

Leading Edge Flight Training is a flight school in Loveland, Colorado. It trains pilots for private, instrument, commercial and flight instructor ratings. The site also lists CFI and CFII courses and intro flights for people who want to try flying first.

The school says its goal is to create well prepared pilots. Training uses a team of flight instructors, a support staff and courses built around many practice scenarios. The site says flying several types of aircraft helps students see the difference between their own skill and the performance of the aircraft.

The fleet has four training aircraft. A Diamond DA40 with a 180 horsepower Lycoming engine and a Garmin G1000 glass cockpit is listed at 170 dollars an hour. A Cessna 172S with the same display and a GFC 700 autopilot is listed at 180 dollars an hour. Two Cessna 172M aircraft are listed at 170 dollars an hour each, one with a 180 horsepower engine and one with a 160 horsepower engine.

The site also lists a private pilot package, aircraft leasing and a partnership with Purdue University. Aircraft guides, including the flight manual and pilot operating handbook for its planes, can be opened from the site.

Flight operations run 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. The office phone number is (970) 669-1187. The contact form asks about intro tours, private, instrument, commercial, CFI and CFII training, aircraft rental and other requests.

The site lists a team page, frequently asked questions and a careers section. It also has a resources section with preflight information. The school says it will send information on the time and cost of training to anyone who asks.
