Step Up Aviation LLC is a full-service aircraft club and flight school located at Austin Bergstrom airport.  We are your simple and affordable alternative to aircraft ownership.  We take care of the hassles, so you can enjoy flying.

Bob Birlingmair, Owner

Step Up Aviation provides a fleet of several aircraft of various types, maintained to high standards.  You might fly a Piper Archer III for everyday practice and $100 hamburgers. Then use our Cirrus SR22 for a longer trip. Try something new with our tailwheel Cessna 140.  That is the idea behind our company. Also, how does flying with dual Garmin 430 color GPS's, XM radio, autopilot, leather seats and air conditioning sound? We don't like the idea of driving a modern car to the airport and then flying an airplane that feels 30 years old.

Check out our fleet page to see our current aircraft.  As we grow, we will continue to work to expand our fleet and make it as useful to the aviation community as possible.

• Are you tired of renting old, barely maintained aircraft?
• Don't want the cost and hassle of owning your own plane?
• Can't find partners that want the same thing as you do?
• Need to use several different planes for different missions?
• Looking for a fair, usable and affordable way to fly nicer aircraft and let someone else take care of the hassles?

So are we, so we decided to do something about it.
