Flight Training for Idaho Falls Students
Bravo 6 doesn't have a location in Idaho Falls. Students from Idaho Falls and Ammon fly with us at Rexburg-Madison County Airport, our home field, about a 30-minute drive up US-20.
Where You'll Fly
Your lessons start at 296 Airport Rd in Rexburg. From Idaho Falls it's about 28 miles and 30 minutes on US-20, and about 35 minutes from Ammon.
Rexburg is the closer of our two airports for Idaho Falls students. It's also where the airplanes, dispatch, the maintenance shop and the instructors are based. More about training in Rexburg.
Making the Drive Worth It
Fewer Wasted Trips
Maintenance is on the field in Rexburg. When a squawk comes up, the airplane goes to our own shop instead of waiting on an outside mechanic, so a 30-minute drive is less likely to end in a canceled lesson.
One Trip, More Done
The Rexburg headquarters has instruction rooms, a briefing room and a pilot lounge alongside the ramp, so a ground lesson, a briefing and a flight can all happen on the same visit.
Start When You Decide To
Intakes open monthly rather than by term, so you start when you're ready. Dispatch builds the schedule around your job or classes. Tell them you're driving in from Idaho Falls when you book.
Radio Skills From Day One
KRXE has no control tower. You make your own radio calls and sequence yourself into the pattern, which builds traffic awareness earlier than a towered field does.
Drive Times to Rexburg
| From | To Rexburg |
