Explore Our State-of-the-Art Training Fleet
Our primary training aircraft are composed of late-model Cessna 162 Skycatchers and Cessna 172 Skyhawks, renowned for their reliability and effectiveness in flight instruction. These aircraft are thoughtfully equipped with advanced glass cockpit instrumentation, enhancing the learning experience and preparing pilots for the sophisticated avionics found in today’s commercial and general aviation aircraft.

Locations such as Auburn, Everett (KPAE), Renton (KRNT), and Tacoma (KTIW) host these exceptional Cessna 162 training aircraft, ensuring convenient access for aspiring pilots across the region. The Cessna 162, a modern light-sport aircraft, is ideal for primary flight training, offering excellent handling and fuel efficiency.
For more advanced training and cross-country flying, the Cessna 172 Skyhawk, the most popular single-engine aircraft ever built, is also a cornerstone of the Rainier Flight Service training fleet.
