A Personalized Alternative to Large Flight Schools

Large-volume flight schools mean shared aircraft, waitlists, and instructor turnover. Chapman Flight Academy is built differently: one instructor, one aircraft, and a training plan shaped around you. Instructor Evan C. Chapman brings a disciplined, technical approach — grounded in an engineering background and Part 61 and Part 141 instructional experience — to every lesson.
