A focused place to train

Flight lessons for Peoria-area students

Throttle Up coordinates one-on-one lessons with certificated flight instructors and builds a practical plan around your goals, availability, and progress. Students can pay as they train rather than committing to a large prepaid program.

More practice from each rental hour

Canton Ingersoll is a non-towered airport. Depending on traffic and lesson goals, training there can mean less paid aircraft time waiting for clearances or traveling to and from a practice area. That can leave more of the lesson for maneuvers, landings, and building proficiency.

Serving more of Central Illinois
