Great welcome, Great training. Highly recommended

Got all my certs here and definitely one of the best schools with amazing CFIs! Highly recommend 🙂

This was my first ever flight adventure here with Vegas Aviation! Our pilot Alex, who’s an amazing pilot, definitely made it an impeccable experience. While on the flight, we learned... read more a lot about aviation and the community and the facility is equipped with quality aircrafts. In fact, the best part of it was flying over the Las Vegas strip! I recommend Vegas Aviation to anyone who’s interested in flight training and services.

5 Stars - Amazing Experience from Start to Finish! I had a fantastic experience with my aviation school here in Vegas! From the moment I walked in, everyone was incredibly friendly... read more and helpful. I had a particular situation I needed help with, and the team went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of smoothly. Special shoutout to Jenny and Tom for being so supportive and welcoming throughout the whole process. And a huge thank you to Brandon, who did my discovery flight—he made the experience unforgettable! His professionalism and passion for flying really stood out and made me even more excited to continue my journey in aviation. If you’re looking for a flight school that truly cares and provides top-notch service, this is the place. Highly recommend!

Vegas Aviation is the industry leader when it comes to Part 61 schools. Mitchell T. is a very knowledgeable airman instructor and his talent to share this with his students... read more cannot be beat. This facility is one of very few places that has 100% their own licensed and in house aircraft maintenance. This is key to a successful, safe, and reliable aircraft operation. Hats off V.A !!

Vegas Aviation is great, and my experience here so far has been amazing. The planes are well maintained and I’ve always felt safe during my lessons. My flight instructor Heather... read more is exceptional at what she does, but I’ve flown with multiple CFIs here and can say that they’re all super knowledgeable and helpful in reaching my goals as a student. I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else, I highly recommend anyone interested in aviation to start here.

Im a newer student at Vegas Aviation and i cant ask for anything more in a flight school. The planes are very clean and well maintained by in house mechanics.... read more My instructor Haylee Rolnick has been amazing to me and im excited to continue training with her! Definitely look no further for a great flight school in vegas.

Haylee has been great to work with as I move forward with my journey to get my private pilots license!

I am extremely disappointed with my experience here. I had spent thousands of dollars on training to ultimately leave empty handed. I had no issues initially, but as months went... read more by, several problems became evident. Unfortunately, scheduling became hard —— my instructor would ask me to continuously alter my own personal schedule to change a class already booked or change it without my confirmation, this is excluding any rescheduling due to weather. The changes in the schedule would be due to their poor planning or personal reasons of leave, these changes would be made the day of or day before when I would book my lessons in weeks of advance. It seemed that I was booking unnecessary lengthy lessons only to benefit the instructor for their personal flight hours. I was made to redo lessons that would cost me $500+ each time rather than taking a ground lesson to go over what I was missing, but as instructors do not log grounds they shy away from scheduling them with their students. The office staff was amazing and very helpful, complete opposite of the instructors. I was repeatedly encouraged to cram the material to pass the check ride rather than being proficient as a student. Finally, as my training was coming to an end, I was told I do not have the mental capacity, although, I had done numerous solo flights. The cheaper rates of this flight school became apparent with the quality of education.

From the moment I walked into VA, I felt welcomed with open arms. The VA team is extremely friendly and professional. And a HUGE shout out to Brad, my flight... read more instructor! He’s not only my flight instructor, but he’s definitely someone I would call a friend and mentor. His dedication to teaching have made all the difference in my flight training. After coming from another flight school, I can honestly say that continuing my flight training at VA was one of the best decisions I’ve made! With that being said, I HIGHLY recommend joining the VA family!

Wow! What an incredible experience. Super glad I came to VA in Las Vegas. If you’ve never been on a discovery flight before, you are missing out. I was a... read more little nervous at first, but Flore made it much more comfortable. Her experience made me feel more confident. Being able to control the plane is exhilarating. Thanks Flore!

My son Renz, a senior in High School, goes to Vegas Aviation for his PPL and recently did his first solo. 😊 A proudest moment a mother can have but a... read more very nerve wrenching one too. As a non aviation family from the Philippines, with zero knowledge about aviation, Tom and Lydia had been really welcoming to us, answering all of our questions, explaining everything and helping us through this exciting journey. My son’s instructor Paniau is beyond amazing. He is always ready to answer our questions any time of the day. He treats my son like his brother and cares about him. We are so happy and proud to be part of the Vegas Aviation family.❤️ This is your sign to be part of this flight school if you are looking for the right one for you.

Great staff, instructors and maintenance team. Would recommend if anyone is interested in flight training in Vegas 🙌

Vegas Aviation is the best of the best! I can confidently say it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. They place a huge emphasis on safety and it's... read more clear their aircraft fleet is well maintained - making you feel even more confident. From start to finish, the entire staff at Vegas Aviation was top notch. They are friendly and supportive, creating the most welcoming environment. The instructors are experienced pilots who are patient, thorough, and ready to answer all questions. Overall, I can't recommend Vegas Aviation enough. Anyone looking to start or advance their aviation journey, it's truly the best place to do it!

Vegas aviation is the perfect place if you want to test out your flight dreams. You start with one discovery flight and end up sticking with them because they make... read more it that easy. For a flight school to let you pay for your hours as you go is rare. The flexibility is definitely one of the biggest things to praise here. As for the instructors , they really do have some great CFI’s to help you along if your serious about getting your license. I got to fly with Andrew in the beginning and he’s definitely knowledgeable and has real world experience flying for hire. He has a great approach and will condense material for you to where it’s easy to understand because learning something new can always be overwhelming. Overall would recommend you give them a try , if anything it will be a fun flight.

Great place! Multiple trainer plains always available to reserve. I am getting my private pilot license here and so far it has been a great experiece. My CFI instructor Adrian... read more has been a great instructor to learn from. He is always willing to work with my schedule for my training. He has clearly laid out lesson plans that we follows for my training. He is very thorough and detailed in each lesson which means that I always learn something new in every lesson. Would highly recommend him!

Growing up in Wyoming, I couldn’t have ever imagined I could become even a student pilot. This opportunity was given to me when I moved to Vegas, and was allowed... read more to collaborate with this incredible flight school. At 17 I’ve soloed, and even flown across state lines. It’s not easy, but the instructors here are extremely well trained no matter who you go with, and the maintenance team is always on top of their work. If there’s a problem with a plane, more often than not, it’s fixed by the next day. It’s a rarity here to have a shortage of aircraft (more than I can say for some other flight schools in the area I have experience with). If you’re having a day dreaming moment about becoming a pilot, or looking to make it a career, they do all sorts of ratings and certifications besides private, so take an introductory flight and go for it! It’s most definitely worth it.

Awesome discovery flight with Lukas! Great place!

Great place to rent from or learn to fly! Currently, they have a fleet of 3 Cessna 172N aircraft and a simulator.

I moved here recently and needed to get checked out at a flight school. Initially I chose Vegas Aviation because it seemed the most normal. After a quick and easy... read more checkout and meeting with everyone I could not be happier with the choice. The instructors and owners are incredibly friendly and bring you into the aviation community. They are very experienced and helpful. Could not recommend them enough!

I've used a variety of flight schools in the Las Vegas Area, and Vegas Aviation has definitely been the best one. My main concerns at the beginning of my flight... read more training were the quality and availability of the planes and instructors, but none of that has been a problem for me during my time here. Another major concern of mine was pricing. I will say that rental prices are slightly higher than other flight schools in the area, but through getting my Private Pilot License I learned that you get what you pay for. If I could start my training all over again I would picked Vegas Aviation sooner to save more time and money in the long run.

I went to Vegas Aviation looking to finish my Multi-Engine add on and become recurrent in instrument flight after about 5 years away from general aviation. I was paired with... read more CFII/MEI Richard and was very impressed from day one. Richard is incredibly proficient and thorough and spent his due diligence getting me recurrent for IFR flight in a timely manner. I then completed their accelerated multi-engine course and passed my check ride on the first attempt. Richard prepped me for every possible contingency for the check ride and I had no surprises on the day of the check. Overall Vegas Aviation is a professional, clean, and modern flight school and maintenance shop that values safety, family, and having fun while learning to fly. Their whole team is very welcoming and credible. I highly recommend.
