There’s never been a better moment to take to the skies!

Big news for future pilots: Thanks to the recent One Big Beautiful Bill, flight training at AV8 Flight School is now eligible for 529 college savings plan funding. That means your MNSAVES plan can cover training costs, books, and even FAA exam fees.

Fewer crowds, faster progress: Many people mistakenly think winter is a bad season for flying—but the cold months actually offer smoother air, better performance, and more open scheduling.

Professionally recognized training: AV8’s Part 141 program at Flying Cloud Airport in Eden Prairie is listed in both the WEAMS and COOL directories, making it fully approved for professional flight education.

Breathtaking winter skies: Blue, crystal-clear days and twinkling night views make winter the most magical flying season of all.
