Flight Training for Blackfoot, Shelley and Chubbuck
Bravo 6 doesn't have a location in these towns. Blackfoot and Chubbuck students fly with us at Pocatello Regional Airport. Shelley is about halfway between our two airports, so Shelley students can choose either one.
Where You'll Fly
Pocatello lessons start at 1503 Flightline at Pocatello Regional Airport, about seven miles west of downtown Pocatello. It's about 30 minutes from Blackfoot and under 10 minutes from Chubbuck.
Flying Out of Pocatello
A Towered Airport
KPIH has a tower staffed from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., and airline flights use the field every day. From your early lessons you talk to a controller and read back clearances, so radio work becomes routine instead of the part you dread.
Real Terrain Close By
The Portneuf Gap and Scout Mountain are south of the field, and the Snake River plain and American Falls Reservoir are to the west. You learn how terrain moves the wind on short training flights.
Same Fleet, Same Standards
Pocatello students fly the same airplanes and curriculum as Rexburg students, with the same instructor standards and the same access to Redbird FMX simulator training.
Start When You Decide To
Intakes open monthly rather than by term, and dispatch builds a schedule around your classes or job. Financing is available through Stratus Financial.
