Want to fly the airplane?

Start with a discovery flight and go as far as you want — private, instrument, commercial, your own aircraft, your own hangar.

Want to just be on it?

You don't need a license, a plane, or any experience. You don't need an airline's schedule. You need to be somewhere on Tuesday.

Because every phase leads
to the next.

Learning to fly leads to owning. Owning leads to maintaining it, and to needing somewhere to keep it. We do all five, on one field — and no step requires the one before it.

Flight Training

Private through commercial, Part 61, in a seven-aircraft fleet with a Redbird simulator on site. Most people start with a discovery flight and decide from there.

Flight training, charter and maintenance at Coeur d'Alene Airport

Coeur d'Alene Aviation operates from Coeur d'Alene Airport – Pappy Boyington Field (KCOE) in Hayden, Idaho, ten minutes north of downtown Coeur d'Alene and about forty from Spokane. Everything we do happens on this field.

That matters more than it sounds. When you train with us, you train in aircraft our own mechanics maintain.

When you buy an aircraft through our brokerage, the pre-buy happens in our shop. When you need somewhere to keep it, we build hangars here. Most flight schools can offer you one of those things and a phone number for the rest.

We serve pilots, owners and travellers across North Idaho and eastern Washington — Coeur d'Alene, Hayden, Post Falls, Rathdrum, Sandpoint and Spokane.


Locally owned

Based at Coeur d'Alene Airport, not a satellite of somewhere else.
