Flight school near Immokalee, FL
Immokalee students fly with Core Aviator Training at Page Field (KFMY) in Fort Myers, about 40 miles west. Training is Part 61 and one-on-one: the Piper Cherokee 140 at $175 per hour wet, instruction at $60 per hour, and a $175 Discovery Flight that counts toward your license. Lessons are booked as three-hour blocks, so one trip is a complete session.
Why the drive from Immokalee works
Every lesson is a three-hour block — brief, fly, debrief — so a single trip west is a full training session rather than a short hop.
You keep the same Certified Flight Instructor and the same airplane from your first flight to your checkride, which means nothing is re-taught between visits.
There is no package to prepay, so you can fly at whatever frequency the drive allows without money sitting in someone else’s account.
