Third Coast Aviation provides world-class professional and recreational pilot training. 

If you want to learn to fly, our flight instructors drill prospective pilots on everything from filing a flight plan to landing in difficult weather conditions.  We give flight lessons using a sophisticated simulation rig as well as time in the cockpit with our highly experienced crew.

Whether you want to become a professional pilot, a recreational aviator or a certified flight instructor, our pilot school will get your feet off the ground.  Located at Kalamazoo|Battle Creek International Airport, Third Coast Aviation is West Michigan’s premier flight training institution.

We enjoy turning our students into exceptional pilots, and we want to offer every possible tool to make it happen.  Once enrolled in our training program, we will give you a free Apple iPad, which can be used for flight planning, charting, filing, training records, videos and more.

Third Coast Aviation also provides aircraft rental as well as assistance with the purchase, management and sale of private aircraft.
