School Description
We operate a fleet of two 2001 Cessna 172s for our primary training and aircraft rental. We also hope to have a sea plane and begin sea plane training in the future. All of our aircraft scheduling is accomplished over the Internet using Schedule Master and all of our training is structured in a one-on-one format with one of our certified flight instructors.

Staff Qualification
We have airline pilot instructors, military pilot instructors, young instructors, retired career instructors, male and female instructors.

More About Us
Our flight training is accomplished one-on-one with one of our certified flight instructors using our syllabus that has been created for our students by our staff and the FAA. We use the ASA products in our kit as well as FAA print materials. All of our student kits are supplemented with an ASA Private Pilot Virtual Course that will prepare you for your flight training, your written examination and your practical examination. This DVD course has proven to be a perfect supplement to the one-on-one teaching with our instructor base. There is no formal ground school to attend and you are not required to fly on a strict schedule. All flying is accomplished on a schedule that you and your instructor will set up to meet your scheduling needs and desires. Your instructor will meet with you before and after each flight to discuss the current flight and your previous study assignments. During the post-flight debrief, your instructor will discuss the flight just completed and assign study subjects for the next lesson. Our experience has shown that this format is very effective because it gives our students the flexibility to schedule the lessons at a time that is most convenient for them. Louisville Aviation is an authorized Sennheiser Headset dealer and an authorized David Clark Headset dealer so we can outfit our new students in entry level headsets or active noise reduction headsets with cell-phone and MP3 input capabilities. We demo these headsets for the first few lessons in order to allow the students to confirm their commitment to flight training prior to making this initial purchase.

Testimonials
From Derek Bleemel on 22-Jul-2009 Mike runs the best flight school around. I had Cole Lone as an instructor, and he got me finished very quick, and with great instruction and knowledge, and was always available when my schedule allowed. The planes are very well maintained and easy to rent. You cannot go anywhere in the Louisville area and get this service. Thanks again Louisville Aviation! From Tim Dodge on 21-Jul-2009 I just completed my check ride on Saturday and had no problems whatsoever. The training I received at Louisville Aviation prepared me very well and I would definitely recommend this professional organization to all aspiring pilots. Stephen Hoke did a wonderful job teaching me to fly and I particularly appreciated his flexibility and responsiveness to my schedule. He is a very safe aviator and competent instructor, and I look forward to flying with him again on my Instrument rating. Great equipment and equally wonderful instructors -- you won't go wrong working with these folks. Thanks Mike! From Scott Savell on 17-Jul-2009 I visited Louisville Aviation for my biennial flight review. Mike continues to run the best flight school in the Louisville, Kentucky area. His planes are fairly new and very well maintained. He was able to accommodate my short notice request for a review. I continue to recommend Louisville Aviation for flight training and rental!
