Who We Are

We are excited to announce that we are enhancing our training fleet by incorporating Cirrus Aircraft. This upgrade will provide our trainees access to state-of-the-art aviation technology, ensuring they receive the best possible training experience.
As an FAR PART 61 Flight School, Sotow Aviation offers highly qualified training with great flexibility in schedules and timelines to complete your flight certificates. The addition of Cirrus Aircraft not only improves our fleet's quality but also aligns with our commitment to fostering safety and innovation in pilot education, equipping our trainees with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in their flying careers.
We Are Here to Help You Meet Your Aviation Goals
Whether you are on the fast track to becoming an Airline Pilot or want to take your time getting your Certificates and Ratings. We will work with you while you explore all the avenues aviation has to offer as a career, we are here to answer your questions. Need a flight review or just want to rent a plane for the weekend? We do that too!
Cirrus Lease Back Options
Owning a leaseback airplane offers an excellent opportunity to fly at no cost. You buy the aircraft and cover the operating expenses, while we handle the rental to our students and manage the maintenance.

Flight Training
Flight Training
We develop a flight training program that fits your schedule and budget. A typical schedule for a person working towards a private pilot certificate flying at least one to two lessons per week will complete training in about 6 months. Your learning process may vary but as a rule of thumb, the more often you train the less you have to re-learn as you go along.
Ground Training
Ground school is an early step in flight training and is more theoretical than flight school. You will study aviation-related topics such as aerodynamics, airport rules, aircraft instruments, and the weather. This is designed to help you pass the applicable knowledge tests for a pilot license. Contact us for more information.
