GET TO KNOW THE SCHOOL
A closer look.
Cornerstone Aviation offers pilot training through its Salt Lake City and Ogden locations, combining flight lessons, formal ground courses, and simulator practice. The published pathway covers private, instrument, commercial, multiengine, and instructor qualifications, with separate CFI, CFII, and MEI course outlines. Its linked aircraft schedule identifies Cessna 172 and 182 trainers, a Piper Seneca III, and a Pitts S-2B for specialty instruction. The provider also advertises aerobatic and upset-recovery work. For younger students, Cornerstone describes private-pilot ground instruction through Davis County high schools and college-credit arrangements, with flight training handled separately.

TRAINING FIT
Our school review.
Cornerstone may suit a student who wants a structured sequence and the option to compare two Utah training bases. The detailed course sheets make the distinction between basic, advanced, and instructor stages clearer, but some documents retain 2025 pricing and pending-approval language despite newer upload paths. Ask for a current campus-specific syllabus and estimate. The high-school ground course offers a useful early entry point; it should be evaluated separately from flight enrollment, medical requirements, and any airline or veteran-benefit pathway.
