Who we are

We are a family owned business dedicated to giving custom and individualized flight training! We teach one-on-one, both for ground school and in the air. We work at the pace of the individual student, not ours. We tailor instructions to each student’s personal needs to ensure they are not only certified, but also surpass Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standards. Our equipment is based at Maury County Regional Airport, a relaxed and relatively low use airfield, the perfect place to gain the confidence and the skills needed to become a pilot.

Our Instructor

Hi! My name is Austin Whitmer, Co-Founder and Lead Flight Instructor at Midstate Flight Training. I received my Instructor certificates in early 2024 and worked for another school before leaving to start training on my own. I have hundreds of hours of experience in Piper Archers, the same model we will fly.

I love to fly, and I love to teach people almost more than anything else. My goal is to give each and every student the best possible instruction, and the best experience I can. I look forward to meeting you, and exploring the skies together!

Our Plane

Midstate Flight Training uses a Piper Cherokee Archer, for flight instruction. With a 180 horsepower engine, responsive handling and forgiving performance, it is the perfect plane for learning basic to advanced skills. This specific plane has been a trainer and club plane all over the United States, from Colorado to Louisiana, and it is ready to take you on a flight!
