GET TO KNOW THE SCHOOL
A closer look.
Leading Edge Aviation publishes private, instrument, commercial, multi-engine and instructor training, including accelerated formats. The school describes Diamond and Cessna airplanes in its training fleet and a Purdue Global degree pathway combining online academic work with flight training. School-wide aircraft information names Diamond DA20, Diamond DA40, and Cessna 172. These are organization-wide Utah offerings; the recovered pages do not confirm that every aircraft or course is based at the legacy West Jordan listing.
- Private pilot and Instrument rating — published options
- Airplane training
Published training options.
The school’s published options are summarized below. Each note explains the training type and what to clarify when comparing the school’s exact course.
Private pilot
A private-pilot training path. Compare the aircraft used, ground-school arrangements and how lessons progress from initial skills to practical-test preparation.
Instrument rating
Training focused on instrument flying, procedures and planning. Compare aircraft and simulator use, scheduling and the preparation expected before flight lessons.
Commercial pilot
A commercial-pilot training option. Ask which aircraft category, prerequisites, experience-building flights and practical-test preparation are included.
Multi-engine
Training in multiengine aircraft. Confirm whether the course is an initial rating, an add-on or a transition, and which aircraft will be available.
Certified flight instructor (CFI)
Training in teaching, lesson preparation and instructional flying. Ask which instructor qualification is included and how practice teaching is assessed.
Instrument flight instructor (CFII)
Preparation for instrument-instruction responsibilities. Confirm the required existing instructor qualification and whether simulator work is part of the course.
Multi-engine instructor (MEI)
Preparation to teach in multiengine aircraft. Ask about entry qualifications, aircraft availability and the ground and flight preparation included.
Accelerated training
Ask the school for the syllabus, entry requirements, training location and complete cost for this specific option.
Flight review
A review for an existing pilot, tailored to experience and recent flying. Ask how ground discussion and flight activities are planned.
Instrument proficiency check
A proficiency assessment for instrument-rated pilots. Discuss your recent experience and the aircraft or simulator to be used before booking.
Discovery flight
An introductory lesson to explore the aircraft and teaching approach. Ask about flight time, who will instruct you and what the quoted price includes.
Aviation degree pathway
An academic pathway with its own entry and graduation requirements. Compare the flight qualifications, academic credits and flight fees included in your chosen track.
Aircraft & training scope
Aircraft categories: Airplane
Published aircraft models: Diamond DA20, Diamond DA40, Cessna 172
These are organization-wide Utah offerings; the recovered pages do not confirm that every aircraft or course is based at the legacy West Jordan listing.
Confirm the present operating airport and campus-specific fleet. The school's accelerated-course page expressly makes completion time dependent on weather, maintenance and student progress.
Training framework & verification
Part 61: Explicit in supplied source; not rechecked for this import. A source listing is not a current FAA approval check or a quality rating.
FAA reference: faa.gov. Confirm the approved course and training location with the school. Part 61 describes training rules; it does not itself identify an FAA-certificated school.
TRAINING FIT
Our school review.
The published progression through additional certificates and ratings is relevant to students planning more than an initial private certificate. Compare each stage separately: required prerequisites, aircraft charges, ground instruction and progress checks can materially affect the total plan. The published aircraft models make equipment comparisons easier; ask which aircraft is assigned to your course and what backup is available. Confirm the campus before relying on a school-wide program or fleet description.

WHAT THE AVAILABLE FEEDBACK TELLS US
Student review evidence.
The school-and-location searches for Leading Edge Aviation, Inc. in West Jordan did not establish usable independent student feedback in the accessible results reviewed.
