About Us

Capital City Aviation is a nonprofit flight training and aircraft rental club whose primary mission is developing safe and proficient pilots in the highest quality rental fleet within Central Ohio. We offer Private Pilot Certificates, Instrument Ratings, Commercial Ratings, Certified Flight Instructor Ratings, Instrument Instructor Ratings, recurrent training, and more! We pride ourselves on tailoring flight training to your schedule and needs through a one on one member-instructor relationship.

Capital City Aviation has been selected by Cirrus Aircraft as the Cirrus Training Center in Central Ohio. As a Cirrus Training Center, Capital City Aviation follows the Cirrus Approach to flight training and transition. This means that our instructors and staff are experts in Cirrus Aircraft, and their operation. Our Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilots (CSIPs) and Training Center Instructors (TCIs) follow the same training programs that Cirrus uses during factory flight instruction. Capital City Aviation members can also join the Cirrus Learning Portal, which allows for online training and transition courses on your own time. In addition to Cirrus Aircraft, Capital City Aviation offers high quality Cessna and Beechcraft Aircraft that are available for flight training and rental. The Capital City Aviation fleet is equipped with modern avionics; allowing for advanced IFR operation, including WAAS, and superior situational awareness. A number of our aircraft are also equipped with ADS-B technology, providing traffic and weather surveillance capabilities.

Whether you intend to fly technologically advanced aircraft for personal use, learn how to fly for business purposes, or you are seeking a new career path, Capital City Aviation will help you meet your goals.
