Western Air Flight Academy

Western Air Flight Academy is a flight school and flying club based in Colorado. It is part of the American Flight Schools family. The academy provides flight training, aircraft rental, and membership services for students and experienced pilots. It has been in operation for 38 years and has served more than ten thousand military and civilian pilots during that time.

The school offers both Part 141 and Part 61 flight training. Students can train for private pilot certificates, instrument ratings, commercial pilot certificates, multi engine ratings, and certified flight instructor certificates. The academy also provides professional pilot training and partners with several universities for degree programs. Discovery flights are available for those who want to experience flying before beginning training.

Western Air operates a fleet of Cessna, Piper, and Diamond aircraft. The fleet includes training aircraft, single engine planes, and multi engine aircraft. The fleet is well maintained. Students who complete their private pilot certificate may rent aircraft for personal use or advanced training.

The academy operates two locations in Colorado. One is at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport in Broomfield. The other is at Colorado Air and Space Port in Watkins. The Broomfield location provides a towered airport environment, while the Watkins location combines towered airport structure with the atmosphere of a small town airport. Both locations offer training, rental, and club membership.

Western Air provides additional services beyond flight training. These include aircraft rentals, a leaseback program, and ground school events. The academy sells gift certificates that can be used toward lessons, rentals, or discovery flights. Members can also access over 100 airplanes across the American Flight Schools network, which includes five flight training facilities.

Financing is available for most training programs. The school offers a cost estimator tool to help students plan their training expenses. The academy's instructors come from many different aviation backgrounds. They work to help students achieve their goals in the shortest time possible while maintaining a flying club environment.
