Western Air Flight Academy is approved by the Colorado State Approving Agency to offer Veteran Benefits through the Montgomery GI Bill.

Welcome to Western Air Flight Academy-the premier flight-training center in Colorado. Conveniently located at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan (Metro) Airport in Broomfield, we offer a top quality training experience in a safe and welcoming environment. What makes us so special?

First, we are one of the few area training centers to qualify as a 14 CFR Part 141 flight school. We have three Part 141 approved courses: Private Pilot-Airplane, Commercial Pilot-Airplane and Instrument Rating-Airplane. This FAA Certified program clearly outlines the scope and sequence of your flight training. Due to the more structured curriculums, you can move more quickly through all of your ratings and become a career pilot, if that is your goal. Cirrus aircraft, both the SR 20 and SR 22, are included in our Part 141 curriculums. Ask about our second to none Mountain Flight Training Course.

Second, We are the only Metro airport flight school with a Part 135 on demand charter certificate featuring the 180 Kt CIRRUS (Single Engine IFR Certified) SR-22 aircraft.

Please call us with your charter needs. We will be happy to give you a quote. Click on the left side menu to learn more about Western Skies Air Charter.

Our staff includes a former 747/767 Continental Airline Captain who can provide insight toward your goal of flying for the airlines.

Mr. PETE BOLDRIN, Chief Instructor for Western Air Flight Academy, is also Head CSIP of our Cirrus Standardized Training Center (Turbo and Perspective by Garmin Qualified).

November,2009: WAFA would like to congratulate HOWARD McCLURE as our new Assistant Chief Instructor for the Part 141 Flight School.

Howard McClure and Pete Boldrin both actively participate in Civil Air Patrol as Flight Instructors and Howard's a Check Airman as well; both are Garmin G1000 qualified.

The Western Air Staff represents just over 180 years and nearly 100,000 hours of flight experience. Drawing from our seasoned pool of experience helps you to shorten the average time it takes to get your pilot's license. At Western Air Flight Academy, a top priority is the safety and reliability of our planes; we take the time and effort to be sure we exceed all safety standards.
