Flight Training Next Door to Hill Air Force Base

Clearfield wraps around the west side of Hill Air Force Base, so residents grow up with military jets overhead. For a student pilot, that neighborhood comes with real-world lessons: restricted and military airspace, busy radio frequencies and the discipline of planning every route before you fly it.

Axiom trains Clearfield students at Ogden-Hinckley, a towered airport just north of Roy with instrument approaches. From there you can practice maneuvers over the open country near the Great Salt Lake, fly approaches in the system and plan cross-countries that respect the airspace around Hill. Because the airport is only about 15 minutes away, many students fit a lesson in before or after a shift.
