About Us

Live view from our ramp

Summit Aviation, Inc. began humbly: one pilot, one aircraft, and one less than desirably colored hangar. Today, with a fleet of state-of-the-art Diamond airplanes, a full staff of highly-qualified instructors, and one well-equipped training facility, we've evolved into the West's benchmark flight school as well as the prevailing resource for aircraft sales and acquisitions.

Our flight school is FAA-Part 141 approved, providing exceptional flight training for private pilots, commercial pilots, flight instructors, and other specialties. Outfitted with Garmin avionics including the G1000, our meticulously maintained, brand-new Diamond airplanes comprise a fleet of the safest training planes in the world. Paired with flight simulators and an air traffic control tower on the ground, the Summit Flight School offers one of the most state-of-the-art training experiences available - and also one of the most rewarding.

With extensive aircraft sales experience, Summit Aviation is an invaluable resource for those seeking to sell or buy planes. We boast a wide range of quality new and used planes for sale on our website, as well as an aircraft purchasing assistance program, crucial for exceptionally discerning clients. Sellers benefit from Summit's savvy sales professionals and their valuable connections with national aviation dealers, brokers, publications, as well as our own considerable client base.

One of the finest features of our flight school is something we simply can't take credit for: Montana's big sky. No wonder Montana is often called "God's country" the scenery is incomparable when viewed from our vast sunny skies. Our unique station in the Rocky Mountain west means that flight days often include a ski day or a kayak run - true to Summit Flight School's "live to the fullest" attitude. Our stunning corner of Montana offers an average of 300 sunny flying days a year, all with complimentary mountain views. It's what inspires us to soar.
