Your first flight is just a click away.
WHERE FREEDOM BEGINS
Whether it's a weekend escape to the coast, a business trip without TSA lines, or the simple joy of commanding an aircraftโthis is where your aviation story begins.

I've visited a few pilot schools around the Houston area and after visiting Modern Pilot I can honestly say that I hadn't visited a pilot school that was so welcoming, considerate and supportive with accomplishing my goals to becoming a pilot as much as Modern Pilot.

I recently purchased a Cirrus and Eric not only went and picked it up, he also gave me instruction for the Embark training. I would use them again and again and couldn't recommend this place enough! Very thorough training and good company!

Just finished my Cirrus transition training here. It's an incredible facility with an incredible staff. It's a great environment to learn in. Eric, the owner, is super passionate about safety and also a wonderful instructor. I cannot suggest this facility enough.
