Serving Immokalee, Florida

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 Immokalee students train with CORE

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.

Flight training for Immokalee students

CORE is pay-per-session: the Cherokee 140 rents at $175/hr wet (fuel and maintenance included) and instruction is $60/hr. How often you fly is the biggest driver of your total.

  1. Private Pilot License

    Where most students begin — the certificate that lets you fly friends and family, and the foundation every rating after it is built on.

  2. Instrument Rating (IFR)

    The rating that turns a fair-weather pilot into an all-weather one — flying by reference to instruments, in the system, on a clearance.

  3. Commercial Pilot License (CPL)

    The certificate that lets you be paid to fly, and the step where precision stops being a goal and becomes a standard.

Is one long trip a week enough to make progress?
It can be. Lessons run as three-hour blocks with a real brief and debrief, and students who study their ground material between visits are the ones who finish closest to the 40-hour FAA minimum.
