Who we are

About Myotis Aviation: Redefining Flight Training & Maintenance

At Myotis Aviation, we believe that the sky should be accessible to everyone. We founded this company on a simple premise: Great flight instruction, expert aircraft maintenance, and reliable aircraft access shouldn't be gate-kept.

Our Mission: Quality, Safety, and Affordability

The traditional aviation industry often forces pilots to choose between high-quality service and affordable rates. We built Myotis Aviation to bridge that gap—a place where elite flight training and meticulous maintenance can thrive alongside competitive rental prices.

The Myotis Difference

We aren't just a flight school; we are a collective of aviation professionals who saw the flaws in the "big school" model. We left the traditional flight school and maintenance world to build a better way forward.

  • Safety-First Culture: By moving away from high-volume "pilot mills," we focus on personalized, thorough instruction.

  • Expert Maintenance: Our team ensures every aircraft in our fleet—from the sporty Grumman Yankee to our Garmin-equipped Sundowner—is maintained to the highest mechanical standards.

  • Fair Access: We provide student and recreational pilots in the Twin Cities metro area with transparent pricing and well-cared-for, privately owned aircraft.

Why Choose Myotis Aviation?

Whether you are pursuing a Private Pilot License (PPL), looking for a reliable shop for your annual inspection, or building hours for a commercial rating, you deserve a partner that cares about your journey as much as you do. We are committed to a safer, more affordable future for the aviation community as a whole.
