The Sasquatch Approach to Flight Training

At Sasquatch Aviation, we’re passionate about helping pilots take flight with
confidence. This starts with the aircraft, and we pride ourselves in the meticulous maintenance of our fleet to ensure reliable flights.

Our flight training is designed around a deep respect for the art of flying. Our team of highly skilled Certified Flight Instructors (CFIs) bring extensive
experience, personalized instruction, and a strong safety-first mindset to every lesson. We will get you in the air in a variety of aircraft, and to a variety of locations, so you are exposed to different experiences.

When and where possible, we will work with you to incorporate adventures into your learning path. For a required cross-country flight, rather than a basic local flight, we will take advantage of this opportunity to design an unforgettable experience (e.g. camping trip to Orcas Island or an exciting trip to Reno).

At Sasquatch Aviation, you’ll find a supportive, professional environment where learning is tailored to your style and goals. Our students are prepared to take to the sky in confidence.
