Our ACCESSIBLE LOCATION
Because the airport is located just a couple minutes off three major roadways (I-80, Highway 34, and Highway 77), it’s easy and
very fast to find your way to the airport. We find that many of our student travel from other communities because of the superior experience and the quick, easy drive. Lincoln experiences relatively low traffic congestion in the area, making it a low stress commute.

flying in diverse conditions. You will learn firsthand how to fly in weather from all four seasons. In addition to blue skies and sun, you’ll encounter snow, ice, wind, and many other conditions. You’ll also learn instrument approaches with real clouds rather than having to simulate approaches.
UNIQUE CLASS C AIRSPACE
The Lincoln Airport possesses its very own tower, complete with Air Traffic Control (ATC). This allows you to:
Gain experience communicating with ATC without the pressure of a crowded metropolitan area; utilize two excellent practice areas; and enjoy the 12,901 foot runway (the runway is long enough with low enough congestion to be included on the NASA list for shuttle landings).
EXCELLENT EXAMINER AVAILABILITY
Unlike many other areas of the country, Lincoln experiences excellent examiner availability, so you will experience fewer delays due to
unavailability and rescheduled checkrides. Examiner fees are typically around $400 per checkride, and our students have very high overall checkride pass rates.
