Training Fleet

At The Colorado Flight Center, we take pride in providing a training fleet that caters to the diverse needs of our students, making each training session a rewarding step toward mastering the art of flight.

We offer two different airframe options when choosing an aircraft for your primary training: the Diamond DA20, the Cessna 182.

The DA20s are our economical trainers, and are the perfect aircraft to learn to fly in.

The Cessna 182s are a step up in power and performance, and are IFR-rated, making them the best choice for training and cross-country rental here in the mountains.

We also have a Piper Aztec for advanced multi-engine training.

Contact us today to learn more about each airframe, and find out which is the right choice for you and your aviation goals!
