Answers

Flight training in West Jordan — your questions answered

How much does it cost to get a private pilot license in Utah?
At Aerotech Aviation, a Private Pilot License typically costs around $14,000 — well below the $16,000–$18,000 many Utah schools charge. Your total depends on how often you fly and how quickly you progress. See the full PPL cost breakdown.
Where is Aerotech Aviation located?
We're based at South Valley Regional Airport (KSVR) at 7220 South 4450 West, Hangar C-7, West Jordan, UT 84084 — minutes from Salt Lake City, South Jordan, Sandy, and Draper. Get directions.
Do I need any experience to start flight training?
None at all. Most of our students have never touched the controls of a small airplane. A discovery flight is the perfect first step — you fly the airplane yourself with a certified instructor beside you.
How long does it take to become a pilot?
Flying 2–3 times per week, most students earn their Private Pilot License in about 3–6 months. Accelerated and part-time schedules are both available — training is self-paced around your life.
What makes training at KSVR an advantage?
South Valley Regional is a less-congested towered field with a long runway, yet sits beneath Salt Lake City Class Bravo airspace. You learn real radio work and busy-airspace skills while enjoying shorter taxi times and lower delays than a major airport.
