Flight Instruction

IDOT’s commitment to building a more diverse workforce is designed to bring additional innovative, high-performing, high-quality skills and reasoning to the transportation construction industry, and to help us all improve transportation throughout Illinois. To address the transportation challenges of today and emerging needs of tomorrow, IDOT must continue to invest wisely in its human capital strategies, and provide opportunities for all who can help us improve transportation as we move the multi-modal transportation vision forward for the state.

Youngsters from throughout Illinois dream of flying a commercial plane or perhaps becoming a recreational flier, and many adults among us still have an urge to learn to soar above the clouds. Illinois flight instruction facilities are equipped with modern technologies and are maintained under the highest aviation safety and educational standards to ensure safety and security, and a safe and effective training environment for prospective pilots of all ages.

We invite you to visit an Illinois flight instruction location for an introduction to flight and to learn more about flying. Together, we can fly high and fly safe.
