Cadotte Aero

​Cadotte Aero was founded in 1987 by Tony Cadotte, starting out at Saint Paul's Holman Field and later moving to our current location at Fleming Field in South Saint Paul.

We're dedicated to the fundamentals of aviation. Our combination of classic aircraft, effective and efficient training techniques, experienced career instructors, and the absolute best safety record in the region produces pilots with unparalleled skills and knowledge.

Our programs are highly structured, yet flexible enough to tailor to your schedule and learning style. We teach in a one-on-one format that ensures genuine understanding and the ability to apply your knowledge.

Many students have told us that our programs are the most challenging, enjoyable, and valuable training that they've ever had!

After 30+ years, we're still teaching Pilots with the same enthusiasm and pride we started out with.

Whether you operate in a crowded metropolitan Class B airspace or out of a wilderness grass airstrip, Pilot certificates earned at Cadotte Aero will give you the ability to fly safely and confidently.

Our ground training is highly stuctured, but tailored to your schedule. No "rote learning" here- you'll thoroughly understand and be able to apply all your learning.

We believe that safety in flight comes from knowing and experiencing all facets of flight. We take our responsibility as your first instructors seriously, and we take pride in helping you to become the best possible pilot.
