There’s Nothing Quite Like Seeing Montana From the Sky
Whether you want to fly for the freedom of it or build a career in aviation, Northstar Jet gives you the instruction, flexibility, and local experience to move forward with confidence.
Training Built Around You
Whether flying is a new hobby, a way to build hours, or the start of a career, Northstar Jet trains you right here — in the mountain airspace you'll actually be flying in. Our Part 61 program flexes around your schedule, and every instructor trains specifically for Montana's mountain airports, shifting density altitude, and valley-by-valley weather, so what you learn in the air holds up once you're flying on your own.
- Flexible Part 61 training, full-time or part-time
- Private testing workstations
- FAA knowledge exams
- PSI certification & licensing exams across thousands of professions
Take the Controls. See What Flying Feels Like.
A Discovery Flight is the simplest way to find out whether flying is for you. Meet a certified flight instructor, get familiar with the aircraft, and experience a 45-minute introductory flight above Western Montana. With your instructor beside you, you will see how a lesson works, ask questions about becoming a pilot, and get your first experience at the controls.
Discovery Flights currently range from $115 to $165, depending on flight duration.
- No prior aviation experience is required
- 45-minute introductory experience
- One-on-one time with a certified flight instructor
- Introduction to the aircraft and controls
- Time to discuss training options and next steps
