Blue Star Aviation Services

A Pennsylvania Flight School

Servicing South-Central PA in the Northern Cumberland Valley: Carlisle Shippensburg, Chambersburg, and the greater Harrisburg area.

We started Blue Star Aviation Services back in 2012 after realizing there is a need for a regional flight school that can safely, efficiently, and effectively train you as a pilot without costing a small fortune. But our desire to offer you value in flight instruction does not compromise safety, our number one principle.

Unlike many other flight schools, our instructors are not simply building time for the airlines: they see instruction as a calling rather than just a job. We build relationships with our pilot candidates and take pride in your success, rather than seeing you as just a customer.

We use the proven Jeppesen flight syllabus, Federal Aviation Administration textbooks (your tax dollars at work!), and experienced instructors to ensure your training will be educational, challenging, and fun.

Whether you want to take an introductory lesson to see if flying is for you, finish up your private pilot's license, or want to get your instrument and commercial rating and head for commercial flying, Blue Star can help you.

We also offer gift cards, scenic flights, flight reviews, night proficiency training, and other specialty flights.

We are based at Carlisle Airport at 228 Petersburg Road in Carlisle. It is a 4000' paved strip located just west of Harrisburg's large and busy airports (KMDT and KCXY). It is a popular, lively, and accessible airport with fuel and maintenance services available.

We are happy to serve Cumberland, Franklin, Perry, and Dauphin Counties and beyond. The valley is ideal for training, containing a mixture of airspace and airports running the gamut from sleepy small town strips that see little traffic to busy metropolitan airports serving large population centers.

We look forward to flying with you!
