Whitewater Aviation Inc.

"I've been flying here for almost the last two years and it's a great airport/flight school. The people here are friendly and knowledgeable, and Kelly has been an amazing instructor. Planes are kept in good condition and are taken off of the schedule and fixed instead of running when unsafe/"iffy""

"Starting new in the world of aviation can be intimidating. Cincinnati west/whitewater airport made it possible for me to meet my childhood dream of getting my private pilot license. The staff is great and very helpful, and the instructors are all professional and compassionate. I continue to use whitewater as a pilot for airplane rentals and will continue using them!!!!"

"I’m currently a student pursuing a Private Pilot Certificate. I really enjoy the atmosphere at Whitewater Aviation, the airplanes, and particularly feel fortunate to have a good instructor. Kelly is very knowledgeable and effectively communicates what I need to hear to help build on my knowledge as a student. She also knows when to let me problem solve on my own without prompting which helps me build confidence in my skills as a pilot. I look forward to coming back every week."

"Great experience in getting my private pilot license at Whitewater Aviation. The staff were patient, friendly and helpful, and most concerned with my experience. The aircraft that I trained in, and continue to rent, were in good condition, and well maintained. I would recommend Whitewater to anyone who is considering learning to fly."

"I have been involved in almost every aspect of aviation for over 25 years. I have kept my personal aircraft at Cincinnati West for 11 years. Will Berninger, the owner of Whitewater Aviation, has impeccably maintained my aircraft. Occasionally, I have found myself in need of another aircraft and I have flown the airplanes used for flight training. It is true that they don’t look like the Cessnas rolling off the production line in Independence, Kansas, but the flight school’s airplanes are well maintained and fly really well. The rental rates are quite a bit cheaper than other flight schools in the area and certainly nationwide. I agree that the FBO looks a little dated but it has all the services you need. Besides, Cincinnati State owns the airport and the buildings. I have only had the best and friendliest service provided to me by the employees of Whitewater Aviation. It is a pleasure to interact with them and find out how they are doing. I look forward to many more years at Cincinnati West. Thank you for you hard work."
