Flight Training in San Antonio, TX
San Antonio is about 50–55 miles from Lockhart Municipal Airport (50R), roughly a 55–65 minute drive up I-35 — a trip many serious students make for consistent, one-on-one instruction that's harder to find at San Antonio's larger training operations.
Why San Antonio Students Train at Chapman Flight Academy
As Texas's second-most populous city, San Antonio has no shortage of flight schools — but many are large-volume operations with shared aircraft and multiple instructors. Chapman Flight Academy offers San Antonio-area students a different model: dedicated one-on-one training with Evan C. Chapman, CFI/CFII, in a single, consistently available, TAA-equipped Cessna 172H. Students who make the drive up I-35 typically schedule longer training blocks to make the most of each visit.
