Flight Training in Rexburg at Our Home Field

Bravo 6 is headquartered at Rexburg-Madison County Airport, on the west side of town.

The airplanes, the maintenance shop, dispatch and the instructors are all here, so a lesson in Rexburg happens at the place the whole operation runs from. Nothing gets shuttled in for your flight.

We're Creating Commercial Pilots

Our Commercial Pilot License Program takes you from zero hours to a commercial certificate in as little as a year, taught by CFIs who fly out of this field every day. Because Rexburg is home base, your airplane, your instructor and your maintenance are all in one place, which is usually what keeps a training timeline from slipping.

Call and ask what a realistic finish date looks like for your schedule.

Flying Out of Rexburg

  1. What a Non Towered Field Teaches You

    KRXE has no control tower, and that is a better place to learn than people assume. You make your own radio calls, sequence yourself into the pattern, and build a picture of the traffic around you from what you hear. Pilots who start at a towered field usually end up learning this later on their own.

  2. Short Runway, High Elevation

    Runway 17/35 is 4,204 feet long at a field elevation of 4,862 feet, so short field and high altitude technique are not a special lesson here, they are just how you fly every day. On a hot afternoon the density altitude can pass 7,800 feet, which is where our SOP stops flying, so you learn to check it before you walk out to the airplane.

  3. Everything Is on the Field

    Our headquarters has instruction rooms, a briefing room, a pilot lounge, an operations center with dispatch, hangar space and on-site maintenance. That last one matters more than it sounds. When a squawk comes up the airplane goes to our own shop instead of waiting on an outside mechanic, which is the difference between missing one lesson and missing three weeks of them.

  4. Built Around a Class Load

    Rexburg is a BYU-Idaho town and we schedule around a semester. Intakes open monthly rather than by term, so you start when you decide to. You can fly through a track break, keep going over the summer, or ease off during finals. Tell dispatch what your term looks like and they will pace it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which airport is Bravo 6 based at?

Bravo 6 is headquartered at Rexburg-Madison County Airport (KRXE) at 296 Airport Rd, on the west side of Rexburg. The airplanes, dispatch, on-site maintenance and hangar space are all here, so this is the field everything else runs from.

Is KRXE a towered airport?

No. Rexburg is a non-towered field, so you make your own radio calls on the common traffic frequency and sequence yourself into the pattern. That builds traffic awareness earlier than a towered field does, and it is a skill pilots who learn at towered airports usually have to pick up later on their own.

What is on site at the Rexburg headquarters?

Flight instruction rooms, a briefing room, a pilot lounge, an operations center with dispatch, administrative offices, hangar space and on-site maintenance, with parking on site. Maintenance being on the field means a squawk usually costs you one lesson rather than a few weeks.

What certificates and ratings can I earn here?

Discovery flights, Private Pilot, Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot, the complex endorsement, CFI and CFII, our accelerated Zero to Hero program, in-person and online ground school, and Redbird FMX simulator training.

Can I train around a BYU-Idaho schedule?

Yes. Intakes open monthly rather than by semester, so you can start when you decide to, fly through a track break, keep going over the summer, or ease off during finals. Tell dispatch what your term looks like and they will pace the training to it.

Does the summer heat change when I can fly?

Rexburg sits at 4,862 feet, and on hot afternoons the density altitude can climb past 7,800 feet, which is where our standard operating procedures stop flying for the day. Booking morning lessons in July and August is the simple fix, and learning to check density altitude before you walk out is part of the training.
