Why Lockhart Students Train at Chapman Flight Academy

Because Lockhart Municipal Airport is Chapman Flight Academy's home base, Lockhart-area students avoid the drive altogether. Lessons, ground briefings, and aircraft checkouts all happen at 50R, and scheduling flexibility is easiest for students who live nearby. Training here means working directly with instructor Evan C. Chapman in a Cessna 172H equipped with a Garmin GTN-750, dual Garmin G5 displays, and a GFC-500 autopilot — the same technically advanced avionics used in modern training and charter aircraft.
