What Sets Bird Dog Apart

One-on-One Instruction

You won’t get lost in the crowd here. Our instructors know your name, your goals, and how to help you succeed. We focus on each student like they’re our only one.

Flexible Scheduling

Life is busy. Whether you work full-time or need to train on weekends, we make it work for you. We’re here when you’re ready to fly.

No Surprise Costs

We’re upfront about what flight training costs—and we help you save. Our students often spend $20–$40K less than those attending large, commercialized flight programs.

Big schools treat students like a number. At Bird Dog, you’re part of the crew. You’ll always feel heard and supported.

Our well-maintained aircraft are ready when you are—no delays, no waiting. That means more progress, faster.

Crushed by College Costs?

A four-year degree isn’t the only way to fly professionally. We can help you reach your career goals faster and at a fraction of the price.

ABOUT BIRD DOG FLIGHT SERVICES

We started Bird Dog because we knew there had to be a better way to train future pilots. The big-box schools felt rushed and impersonal and College flight programs are not the best fit for all types of learners. We created a school where students could actually enjoy the process of becoming a pilot—and still graduate faster and for less money.

We offer full-service training, from brand-new students to commercial certification. Our team is passionate about flying, but even more passionate about helping our students grow. You’ll see it in how we teach, how we maintain our aircraft, and how we treat you every step of the way.

What Our Clients Are Saying

They understand what pilots need
Started my instrument training here in Jan of 2024 and was able to get my instrument, commercial and CFI done by October. Instructors really care about safety and the planes are well maintained and generally always up and running.

Flawless experience and peace of mind
I got my PPL at bird dog and I have nothing but good things to say about my experience there. Every CFI is very knowledgeable about the curriculum and provided a great experience. The aircraft are very well maintained and the facilities are excellent. Overall Bird dog is a great place to study aviation.
