Flight schools in Illinois

Every flight school the AOPA directory currently lists in Illinois — 64 of them, in 45 towns and cities — is on this page, with Sugar Grove (4), West Chicago (4) and Wheeling (4) at the top by count.

We built this so you can see the whole field at once rather than whichever three schools bought the best ads. Tell us which ones you are considering and we will confirm they are still flying.
