The country between Brigham City and the Great Salt Lake is some of the most interesting training terrain in Utah. Wide-open marshes, farmland and the lake shoreline give you clear landmarks for navigation, while the Wellsville Mountains and the Wasatch Range bring mountain winds into play.
The Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge west of Brigham City is also a reminder that birds are a real hazard near the lake. Axiom instructors teach Box Elder County students to plan around wildlife, weather and terrain, then put those skills to work on cross-country flights to airports across northern Utah, including Brigham City Regional.
Day-to-day training happens at Ogden-Hinckley, a towered airport with instrument approaches, so you also learn to work with air traffic control and fly in the instrument system.
Brigham City students can start with one flight or a full career program. All programs below are taught at our Ogden campus:
