Arizona’s Premier Cirrus Training Facility

We train and certify more Cirrus Pilots in Arizona than anyone else…period!”

We ensure that our aircraft are the best equipped with every subscription available: Active Traffic, On Board Weather Service, Safe Taxi Assist, Navigation databases and approach charts which are always up-to-date and ready for your use.

Private & Commercial Pilot
Program (PPL,CPL)

There is no greater thrill or sense of accomplishment than learning how to fly. The freedom and satisfaction of flying an airplane is achievable with the right training, location, and aircraft. Our location in northeast Phoenix is one of the best in which to learn how to operate an aircraft in today’s challenging flight environment.

Flight Instructor
Program

Becoming a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) is a great option for pilots looking to gain valuable experience. Flight Instructors prepare students of all levels for their pilot certificates and conduct flight reviews, proficiency checks, and ground training sessions.

Instrument Pilot
Program

Obtaining an instrument rating will make for a better pilot, reduce insurance premiums and is more marketable, as many aviation employers require their pilots to be instrument rated. A minimum of 40 flight hours under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) are required by the FAA.

DISCOVERY FLIGHTS

The best introduction to your pilot training is to take a Discovery Flight

On your discovery flight, you’ll get the chance to get your hands on the controls! Your instructor will guide you through the required pre-flight inspection and prepare the aircraft for flight. Then, with the help of an instructor you will get to fly the aircraft.
