Premier flight school in Ogden offers accelerated pilot programs, immediate checkride availability, and expert instruction for aviation students across Utah.

We make flight training smarter, not harder. Our streamlined, no-fluff approach focuses on what truly matters, helping you master the skills you need efficiently.”
— Mycah Pittman

OGDEN, UT, UNITED STATES, December 22, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Blitz Aviation, a premier flight training academy located at the Ogden-Hinckley Airport (KOGD), is proud to announce the expansion of its flight training services for the greater Salt Lake City metropolitan area. With a strategic focus on accessibility, transparency, and efficiency, Blitz Aviation is redefining the pilot training experience by eliminating common industry bottlenecks, such as long waits for Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) checkrides.

Founded by Mycah Pittman and Michael Pittman Jr., the flight school brings a unique discipline to aviation derived from the founders' backgrounds in high-level athletics. The name "Blitz" is rooted in the Pittman brothers' history in football, where a blitz represents a fast, strategic play. This philosophy translates directly into their aviation curriculum: focused, disciplined, and designed to achieve goals without unnecessary delays. Mycah Pittman, a former college football player turned CFI and CFII, and Michael Pittman Jr., a professional NFL wide receiver for the Indianapolis Colts and current flight student, established the school with a mission to make flight training smarter, not harder.

A major hurdle for many student pilots in the United States is the unpredictability of scheduling checkrides, which are required for certification. Blitz Aviation addresses this industry-wide issue head-on. The school ensures that students face no checkride waits, allowing them to finish their training on time and within budget. This reliability draws students from across Utah, including Salt Lake City, and even neighboring states like California, who are seeking a streamlined path to certification.

The academy offers a comprehensive "Zero to Hero" program, guiding students from their initial discovery flight all the way to becoming a Certified Flight Instructor – Instrument (CFII). The curriculum includes Private Pilot License (PPL) training, Instrument Rating (IR), Commercial Pilot Certificate (CPL), Multi-Engine Rating, and various instructor certifications. For those seeking the fastest route to the skies, Blitz Aviation provides specialized accelerated programs, including a 14-day Instrument Course, a 10-day Commercial Pilot Program, and a 7-day Accelerated CFI-I course.

Blitz Aviation operates a diverse and meticulously maintained fleet of aircraft suited for all levels of training. The fleet includes the Cessna 172XP, known for its performance; the classic Cessna 172P and 172M models; the Piper Archer PA-28, equipped with modern Garmin avionics; and the Beechcraft 55 Baron for multi-engine training. The integration of modern technology, such as Garmin G5 and G530 WAAS systems, ensures students are trained on equipment relevant to today's aviation standards.

The school's location in Ogden offers a distinct advantage for students living in or near Salt Lake City. The airspace surrounding Ogden provides a diverse training environment that includes mountain flying scenarios and complex airspace interactions, without the extreme congestion often found at larger international hubs. This balance allows students to maximize their flight hours learning actual maneuvers rather than spending excessive time taxiing or holding on the ground.

Students at Blitz Aviation also benefit from a transparent pricing model. The school emphasizes a "no-fluff" approach, helping aspiring pilots avoid hidden fees and sky-high price tags often associated with flight training. Whether students choose a full course or a pay-as-you-go option, the focus remains on mastering skills efficiently.

With a team of dedicated instructors, including Mycah Pittman, Andy, and others who bring real-world experience, Blitz Aviation is committed to mentoring the next generation of pilots. The facility features dedicated ground school spaces and a supportive community atmosphere, making it a top choice for those looking to turn their aviation dreams into a career.
