testimonials
"Lakes Area Aviation is an outstanding flight school! Their aircraft maintenance is exceptional, with a strong emphasis on safety. The instruction is top-quality, delivered by experienced and supportive instructors. The entire staff is warm and welcoming, making every visit enjoyable.
Even though I had options closer to home, I chose Lakes Area Aviation for my commercial single and multi-engine adds ons, and I'm so glad I did! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for flight training."

“In November 2023 I called them up and had a great conversation about finishing the private pilots license I had started on, and went up to Little Falls with 8.7 hours of flight time. The staff and instructors were amazing. There were plenty of options for housing, transportation, and excellent service. I finished my rating and would highly recommend checking them out!"

“I had a great experience with Lakes Area Aviation. They helped me complete CFI training and checkride in 10 days, in mid January! I went back up a couple months later and finished CFI-I in a total of 12 days! Jake and his team really go above and beyond to make sure you're not just passing the checkride but really learning the material, regulations, and how to become a great instructor. I would 100% recommend them for anyone looking to get an accelerated rating. Very welcoming, friendly and accommodating (especially for those coming from out of town). They also have access to affordable rental cars and housing if you need it. My time at Lakes Area Aviation was one the the highlights of my pilot training!"
