Learn to Fly the Modern Way
Modern Aircraft. Modern Training. Modern Pilots.
Master commercial proficiency in the same Cirrus SR-Series aircraft that represent the pinnacle of modern general aviation.

From preflight planning to post-flight debrief, you'll train in an environment that mirrors professional aviation operations. Precision. Discipline. Standards.
Technology & Safety
CAPS parachute system, modern avionics, air conditioning, and premium interiors. Train in comfort and safety while developing the skills that matter.

I've visited a few pilot schools around the Houston area and after visiting Modern Pilot I can honestly say that I hadn't visited a pilot school that was so welcoming, considerate and supportive with accomplishing my goals to becoming a pilot as much as Modern Pilot.

I recently purchased a Cirrus and Eric not only went and picked it up, he also gave me instruction for the Embark training. I would use them again and again and couldn't recommend this place enough! Very thorough training and good company!

Just finished my Cirrus transition training here. It's an incredible facility with an incredible staff. It's a great environment to learn in. Eric, the owner, is super passionate about safety and also a wonderful instructor. I cannot suggest this facility enough.
