Flight school near Lehigh Acres, FL
Lehigh Acres students train with Core Aviator Training at Page Field (KFMY), about 15 miles west along Colonial Boulevard. It is a Part 61 school built on one instructor, one student and one Piper Cherokee 140 — $175 per hour wet for the airplane, $60 per hour for instruction, and $175 for a Discovery Flight with logbook credit.
Why Lehigh Acres students train at Page Field
Page Field is a straight 15-mile run west on Colonial Boulevard, which makes a weekday three-hour block genuinely practical.
Training at a towered field means ATC communication and airspace discipline are part of your flying from hour one, rather than something to add later.
Pay-per-session pricing keeps startup costs low: a $175 Discovery Flight is the whole commitment until you decide to carry on.
