Two things happen on this field. Pilots land here to take on fuel, park an airplane or wait out weather — and people who have never flown anything walk in the front door and ask how you start. We are set up for both, fifteen minutes from Duluth, with none of the queueing a bigger airport asks of you.
Starting is one flight. On a Discovery Flight you sit in the left seat of one of our Cessna 172s, an instructor takes the airplane off and then hands it to you, and somewhere over the harbor you find out whether this is yours. It costs $125, and the time goes in a logbook that counts toward your certificate.
After that our FAA-certified instructors take you the whole way — Private, Instrument, Commercial, Multi-Engine, and the CFI ratings if you want to teach. Training is one-on-one and paced around your week rather than a class timetable. Pilots already flying come here for flight reviews, instrument proficiency checks and the rust-removal after a few years off.
“From first lessons to advanced training, from fuel services to aircraft rental, Superior Flying Services brings together everything a pilot needs — right here in Superior.”
