Where training happens in Louisiana

39 flight schools are listed across 18 cities in Louisiana, flying from 19 different airports. Between them they carry 451 reviews from students on Google, averaging 4.91 out of five. 6 schools hold a rating of 4.8 or better across at least ten reviews, which is the bar worth using when a five-star average rests on two people.

Busiest training airports

Fields with more than one school on them are worth knowing about: you can visit two or three in an afternoon and compare them properly instead of driving across the state twice.

Beyond the private certificate

Not every school teaches everything. These are the Louisiana schools that list training past the basic airplane certificate, which is where the state's geography tends to show: seaplane work follows the water, and mountain and tailwheel training follow the terrain.
