Our Story
|
Nightline Air was founded by our owner at the age of five years old. While thinking of his "dream airline" name for several weeks, he discovered this unique and appealing name. He created his first virtual airline website and program for a flight simulator network. In addition, he created an internet radio called "Nightline Radio" used for aviation and sporting events.
Today, Nightline Air is a flight school that operates in Salt Lake City, UT. We have multiple instructors and aircraft available for flight training and aircraft rental. We are built upon an atmosphere that is alive and educational. We welcome aspiring and licensed pilots to join us as we continue to enhance our knowledge and passion in the field of aviation. We value you, your time, and budget. Not only are you our student, but you are also apart of our community and family. We allow you to learn at your own pace and preference that work with you. Everything is build around the student, not the flight instructor. Our instructors are here to help you enjoy the benefits of flying and helping you become a safe and proficient pilot to enable you to take yourself, family, and friends into the big blue sky. We especially want to ensure our students and pilots feel rewarded and accomplished during their flight training experience. After all, there are financial and time commitments that can become discouraging. At Nightline Air, we take the time to recognize you through the use of our social media platform, free awards and prizes, and monthly discount promotions on flight training. We take the time to help you accomplish your dreams and goals to the best of our ability. Flying is special and you should be treated the same. Here, you can count on us to pursue such adventures! |

5 Useful Questions To Ask An Instructor:
Why did you become a flight instructor?
Regardless of the answer, the way an instructor talks about why they fly is what is important. Look for someone that is excited by teaching. They should have a genuine interest in giving others the gift of flight.
How long have you been flight instructing?
Some Instructors have thousands of hours under their belts and have been flight instructing for their entire careers. Others have a few hundred and are just beginning. A seasoned instructor will have a lot of experience but may have a set teaching style. A freshly minted instructor has less aircraft time but is able to relate to common learning obstacles, having undergone their own flight training in the not too distant past. There are advantages to both types of instructor.
How do you keep track of your student’s progress?
Using a syllabus is essential so that both student and instructor can track progress and milestones so make sure your instructor uses one. Talk to other students and ask them what kind of reading their doing, what books they’re using and the type of homework they’re getting. There should ALWAYS have some type of “homework” assignment at the end of each lesson.
What is your availability?
Some instructors are part-time and work separate jobs during the week. Others are full-time, but may want to have personal and family time on the weekends. Find an instructor with compatible availability. Flying at least twice a week is the best way to progress quickly through accomplishments with less effort and less overall costs. Choosing an instructor that is able to fly on the same schedule helps to keep flight training on a consistent path.
