ABOUT NORTHWEST FLIGHT SERVICE

Northwest Flight Service is the premier flight training and aircraft maintenance provider based at Felts Field in Spokane, Washington. Since 2012, we have helped pilots throughout the Inland Northwest learn to fly, advance their skills, and enjoy aviation with confidence.

We offer Private Pilot, Instrument, Commercial, CFI, CFII, Cirrus transition training, flight reviews, and more.
Our fleet includes Cessna 172s and Cirrus SR20s.

In addition to our award winning flight training, our factory-trained maintenance team provides dependable service not only for our flight school aircraft, but also for customer-owned single and multi engine piston aircraft. From routine maintenance to annual inspections, we can do it.

Whether you're a first time student, an experienced pilot, or an aircraft owner, we're here to help you get more out of aviation.
