Career Pilot School operates
out of New
Century Airport in Olathe, Kansas and Midwest
National Airport northeast of Liberty, Missouri. New Century and
Midwest National are public airports located near Kansas
City, Missouri and are ideal training centers for flight
education. The majority of traffic at New Century and Midwest
National consists of corporate charter and research and development
flights, as many of the surrounding hangars are occupied by leading
suppliers to the aviation industry.
Students here have excellent opportunities for practice both at and
near the airfields. In addition, a large practice areas are
literally minutes away. There are over 60 published instrument
approaches combined at New Century and Midwest National Airports and
other surrounding airports. Career Pilot School accounts
for more than 95% of all flight training originating from New
Century and Midwest National Airports. For students, this means less
time spent on the ground waiting for traffic and more time spent in
the air. The proximity of our practice areas and numerous instrument
approaches allows students to spend more flight time learning and
less time traveling to and from the practice areas. The states of
Kansas and Missouri also provide numerous airports for cross-country
flights.
Upon completion of the Private Certificate and Instrument Rating, we
encourage students to fly throughout the Midwestern United States.
The Midwest provides a variety of different airports which prepare
students for the rigors of commercial aviation. From busy Class “B”
airspace in Chicago, Kansas City, and Minneapolis, to rural airports
in uncontrolled airspace, our students receive the widest range of
experience available at any flight school in the nation.
While students will not confuse Kansas City for cities in Florida
and Arizona, we have excellent weather that provides opportunities
for our students to fly in a variety of conditions. Students, with
the input from our staff, will make the same real life weather
decisions commercial pilots make on a daily basis. And with weather
varying from occasional snow in the winter to thunderstorms in the
summer, students will graduate with a greater understanding of
weather and how it affects aviation. The average temperature in
Kansas City is 65 degrees Fahrenheit and rarely falls below freezing
during the winter months.
