Location
Career Pilot School operates out of Midwest National Airport northeast of Liberty, Missouri and Lampson Field Airport south of Lakeport, California. Midwest National is a public airport located near Kansas City, Missouri and is an ideal training center for flight education. Lampson Field Airport is a public airport located 2 hours north of San Fransisco, California. The majority of traffic at Midwest National and Lampson Field consists of corporate, charter, and flight instructional flights.
Students here have excellent opportunities for practice both at and near the airfields. In addition, large practice areas are literally minutes away. There are over 60 published instrument approaches combined near Midwest National Airport and Lampson Field Airport. Career Pilot School accounts for more than 95% of all flight training originating from Midwest National Airport and Lampson Field Airport. For students, this means less time spent on the ground waiting for traffic and more time spent in the air. The proximity of our practice areas and numerous instrument approaches allows students to spend more flight time learning and less time traveling to and from the practice areas. The states of California, Kansas, and Missouri also provide numerous airports for cross-country flights.
Upon completion of the Private Certificate and Instrument Rating, we encourage students to fly throughout the United States. The Midwest and West Coast provide a variety of different airports which prepare students for the rigors of commercial aviation. From busy Class “B” airspace in San Fransisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Kansas City, and Minneapolis, to rural airports in uncontrolled airspace, our students receive the widest range of experience available at any flight school in the nation.
While students will not confuse Kansas City or Lakeport for cities in Florida and Arizona, we have excellent weather that provides opportunities for our students to fly in a variety of conditions. Students, with the input from our staff, will make the same real life weather decisions commercial pilots make on a daily basis.
