Flight school near Fort Myers, FL
Core Aviator Training is based at the General Aviation terminal of Page Field (KFMY), 607 Danley Dr — minutes from downtown Fort Myers, the River District, McGregor Boulevard, and Gateway. Every lesson is private: one instructor, one student, in our Piper Cherokee 140.
Your home-field flight school
Fort Myers gives student pilots a near-ideal training environment: flat terrain, predictable sea-breeze patterns you learn to read, and 300+ flyable days a year over the Caloosahatchee and the Gulf coast.
Page Field is towered and professionally managed, so you build real ATC communication and airspace skills from your first hour.
We are not a satellite location or a referral service — Page Field is home, and the instructor you meet on day one is the one who trains you to your checkride.
