Affordable Flight Training & Financing in Minneapolis/St. Paul

Get the Resources of a Major Flight School at an Independent Price

Get the structure and financing of a premier flight academy, paired with the personalized, one-on-one instruction of an independent CFI - all unlocked through an affordable monthly membership.

At Myotis Aviation, we do things differently to save you money. Instead of paying the massive corporate markups of a traditional flight school, our student pilots pay a low monthly subscription. This membership gives you exclusive access to our fleet of well-maintained training aircraft across the Twin Cities and connects you with our network of independent Certified Flight Instructors (CFIs). No hidden fees, no corporate middlemen.

The Smarter Path to Your Pilot's License

Your Myotis membership acts as your all-access pass to affordable aviation. Here is how our three-step process works:

  1. Become a Member: Sign up for our monthly student subscription to unlock access to our Twin Cities aircraft fleet and our financing programs.

  2. Match with a CFI: Choose an independent Certified Flight Instructor from our network or bring your own. Because they are independent, you pay them directly. You get personalized training without the flight school markup.

  3. Book and Fly: Use our streamlined system to schedule your aircraft at local airports. You only pay the flat, transparent hourly rental rate for the plane and your instructor's direct rate.

Flight Training Financing Made Simple

One of the biggest challenges of using an independent CFI is figuring out how to pay for it, as most traditional aviation lenders only work with massive flight academies.

Myotis Aviation bridges that gap. Because you are flying within our structured network, our student members gain access to flexible flight training financing options. You can fund your private pilot's license, instrument rating, or commercial training while still enjoying the cost savings of working with an independent professional.
