Kentucky Airmotive - Montgomery County Airport

Kentucky Airmotive's main business is teaching people to fly. At our airport, we do not have to compete with the airlines. This means more flying time and less ground time for your money, and usually receiving your licenses in less total time. Kentucky Airmotive students usually solo between 10 to 14 hours, compared to 15-20 hours at other flight schools.

Kentucky Airmotive, Inc. uses a Jeppesen Training Syllabus and Cessnas for flight instruction. We have two flight instructors with years of experience, and have been teaching for thousands of hours. Our instructors will be able to teach you all aspects of flying necessary to pass the checkride, but our instructors go beyond that. They see that you receive the correct instruction both on the ground and in the air, to be a proficient, safe, and competent pilot. That is what it's all about, being the most proficient and the safest pilot you can be. This is what we at Kentucky Airmotive strive to achieve.
