GET TO KNOW THE SCHOOL
A closer look.
Skelton Air provides aircraft rental at Lewiston–Nez Perce County Airport and accepts both qualified certificated pilots and student pilots. Its role is principally aircraft access: students may be referred to an approved instructor or ask their own instructor to arrange use of the airplane. The published rental aircraft is a Cessna 172B with a 180-horsepower engine, Garmin GTN750 and G5 instruments, and an IFR-equipped panel. Rental qualification involves an aircraft checkout, paperwork and insurance. Scheduling is by appointment with an online booking process available after approval. Students should coordinate the instructor and airplane reservations rather than assume a packaged school course.

Student flight instruction by approved instructors

Access to an aircraft subject to the provider’s requirements. Ask about checkouts, booking restrictions, insurance and how billable time is measured.

TRAINING FIT
Our school review.
Skelton Air may work well for a Lewiston student who wants to combine a local rental airplane with an approved instructor, or for a qualified pilot seeking continued access after training. The distinction between aircraft rental and instruction is important when budgeting: ask who teaches, invoices and manages the syllabus. The published Cessna equipment supports a useful aircraft discussion, but it does not establish a complete in-house rating catalog.

WHAT THE AVAILABLE FEEDBACK TELLS US
Student review evidence.
The school-and-location searches for Skelton Air LLC in Lewiston did not establish usable independent student feedback in the accessible results reviewed. The BestAviation listing explicitly says it has not been reviewed. This is a limit of the evidence found, not a finding about training quality or a claim that reviews do not exist elsewhere. Request recent local student references, then compare their actual lesson frequency, instructor continuity, final costs and checkride preparation with the written course proposal.
