Flight School Fort Worth — Learn to Fly at Hicks Airfield (T67)

Parrish Aviation Flight Academy operates a full-service flight training campus at Hicks Airfield (T67), 171 Aviator Drive, Fort Worth, TX 76179 — on the northwest side of the Metroplex. As an FAA Part 141 certified flight school, we bring the same structured curriculum, experienced instructors, and rigorous standards to Fort Worth that has made us one of North Texas's most trusted aviation academies.

Hicks Airfield is a beloved general aviation airport with an uncongested traffic pattern, a friendly flying community, and unrestricted access to the diverse airspace of the DFW Metroplex. It's an ideal environment for student pilots — close enough to Fort Worth and the broader Metroplex, yet relaxed enough to build solid foundational skills before progressing into busier Class B and Class C operations.

If you're searching for a flight school near Fort Worth — whether you're in Keller, Saginaw, Azle, Lake Worth, Haslet, or northwest Tarrant County — Hicks Airfield (T67) is your closest path to earning an FAA pilot certificate.

Every certificate and rating we offer at Dallas Executive Airport is also available at our Hicks Airfield Fort Worth location:

• Private Pilot License (PPL) — Start your aviation journey in the uncongested airspace around Hicks Airfield. Build confidence, fly solo, and earn your certificate under Part 141.
• Instrument Rating (IFR) — Progress from VFR to instrument-qualified. Train in real North Texas weather conditions with our experienced CFII instructors.
• Commercial Pilot Certificate — Meet the 250-hour requirement and develop the precision and judgment required for professional flight operations.
• Multi-Engine Rating — Train on our Piper Twin Comanche and add the multi-engine endorsement essential for airline and charter careers.
• CFI / CFII Certification — Become an FAA Certified Flight Instructor and build hours efficiently toward ATP minimums.
• Discovery Flight at Hicks Airfield — Try flying over Fort Worth for the first time. One hour, your hands on the controls.

Student pilots often progress faster at Hicks Airfield (T67) because the traffic pattern is less congested than towered airports, allowing for more takeoffs, landings, and pattern work per hour of flight time. Once students are comfortable with the basics, we introduce them to Class C operations at Alliance Airport and, eventually, DFW Class B — giving them real-world experience that sets them apart on checkrides and job applications.

Hicks Airfield also has a strong general aviation community. Fly-ins, safety seminars, and a culture of mentorship between experienced pilots and students create an environment where learning is accelerated by genuine passion for aviation — not just a transactional student-instructor relationship.

Our Dallas Executive Airport (KRBD) campus is also available to Fort Worth students who want to cross-train in towered-airport operations or use our on-site PSI Testing Center or Aviation Medical Examiner. See all the reasons pilots choose Parrish Aviation over other DFW flight schools.
