GET TO KNOW THE SCHOOL
A closer look.
Angle of Attack AEROnautics is based at Bert Mooney Airport in Butte and combines airplane instruction with motion-based simulator practice. Its published menu covers private, instrument, commercial single-engine and multiengine training. A Cessna 172M supports primary and instrument work, while a Cessna 310R is identified for multiengine and advanced instrument experience. Distinctive specialty offerings include mountain flying and an instrument-weather exposure course. The school describes introducing concepts in an advanced training device before reinforcing them in the airplane. Concentrated multiengine students receive preparatory material before arriving and are expected to study in advance.
Bert Mooney base
The school identifies Bert Mooney Airport KBTM in Butte as its primary operating base.
Aircraft matched to courses
A Cessna 172M supports primary and instrument work; the Cessna 310R is identified for multiengine and advanced instrument courses.
Simulation before flight
The school describes introducing and practicing procedures in a motion-based advanced training device before transferring those skills to the aircraft.
Add-on preparation
The concentrated multiengine page calls for pre-arrival self-study and makes completion dependent on experience and preparation.
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 single-engine pilot
A commercial-pilot training option. Ask which aircraft category, prerequisites, experience-building flights and practical-test preparation are included.
Commercial multiengine add-on
A commercial-pilot training option. Ask which aircraft category, prerequisites, experience-building flights and practical-test preparation are included.
Mountain flying
Training for a particular operating environment. Ask about ground preparation, terrain, weather limits and the aircraft experience expected before arrival.
Advanced instrument-weather training
Training focused on instrument flying, procedures and planning. Compare aircraft and simulator use, scheduling and the preparation expected before flight lessons.
Simulator training
Practice using a training device. Ask which device is used, whether an instructor is included and how the sessions support your particular course.
Discovery flight

This profile covers the Butte-based Angle of Attack AEROnautics operation.
Actual-weather exposure and compressed course durations depend on conditions and readiness. The 172’s VFR-only GPS should not be confused with approval for GPS instrument approaches.

TRAINING FIT
Our school review.
This provider may suit a pilot who wants multiengine training in a Cessna 310 or more experience applying instrument skills in Montana conditions. The simulator-to-airplane progression is a concrete teaching feature to discuss. Actual-weather flying depends on suitable conditions and operating limits, so it should not be treated as a promised experience. Preparation requirements and weather contingencies are especially important when reserving a short add-on course.
