LEARN TO FLY

Flying is one of the most challenging activities you’ll ever experience, and that’s what makes it so rewarding. For many of us, flying has been a dream since we were children. Others see it as a fun hobby to add a new dimension to their life. Becoming a pilot gives you a new sense of adventure and freedom, an alternative to airline travel and long trips by car, and a fantastic way to leave the day’s stress behind you. It’s easier than you think to start your journey toward being a pilot, and we look forward to showing you how. Primary flight training in single-engine aircraft is the first step that most pilots take. If you want to fly for fun or fly for a living, this is where it all starts. Early in your training, we will match you to the instructor best suited to your style of learning. Your instructor will work with you to accommodate your schedule and will give you feedback and encouragement as you progress toward becoming a licensed pilot.

Flying is freedom – the freedom to go where you want when you want. How does flying up to Lake Tahoe to go skiing sound? A weekend in Las Vegas without the hassle of the airlines? Lunch with friends in Palm Springs? A flight to Catalina for a world-famous Buffalo Burger? A romantic dinner in San Diego? Or just jumping in the plane and flying simply for the fun of being aloft? These are just a few of the countless adventures waiting to be discovered for any pilot flying out of Van Nuys. Van Nuys Airport is a designated Class “D” (control tower) airport by the Federal Aviation Administration. It is located just adjacent to Burbank Airport with Class “C” radar service, and within a short distance to world famous Los Angeles International Airport.

HOW TO CHOOSE A FLIGHT SCHOOL

LEARN TO FLY

Learning to fly can be one of life’s most rewarding accomplishments. The freedom of movement in a three-dimensional state is not only fun but can lead to some interesting travel options and possibly a career opportunity.

The process starts by selecting a flight school, preferably one with full-time
flight instructors and company-owned airplanes. Possibly not having done this before or familiar with the flight training process, selecting the right school for you can be a formidable challenge. In order to figure out which flight school is best for you, start by developing a checklist that has some of these questions:

Does the school have more than one training airplane of the same type?
Are these Aircraft schools owned and not leasebacks?
Does the flight school utilize FAA Approved Flight Simulators?
Are the flight instructors full-time and on staff?
Has the operation been in business at least 10 years?
Does the school have its own on-site aircraft Maintenance Facility?
The option of FAR Part 141 approved school training?
Modern air-conditioned Spacious Facility with multiple ground school rooms?
Is there computerized Scheduling software with student access?
Plenty of parking and easy access to the school?

FLIGHT SCHOOL FLEET

One of the most important factors in choosing a flight school is the size of the Fleet (the number of aircraft) that the school operates. This is important because, at any given time, at least 20% of the aircraft that a school operates will not be available for your use due to any number of required maintenance or repairs. This unavailability of aircraft will result in your inability to reserve your training on the day and time that best fits YOUR schedule. Additionally, the delays can add up to a significant delay in your overall training progress and completion date.

Additionally, a school with a variety of different aircraft makes and models will enhance your training because you will have the option of flying different aircraft, making you a more experienced, more confident, and overall better pilot.
