About
Snake River Flight Training is a Part 61 flight school based at Caldwell Executive Airport in Idaho. We teach every level of flying from Private Pilot to Instrument Instructor, Tailwheel and High Performance, TAA, Flight Reviews and Instrument Proficiency Checks. We are NOT an accelerated school — our focus is on producing the most proficient and safest pilots possible, with an emphasis on old-school airmanship and paper chart navigation alongside modern GPS proficiency.
