Before deciding to go to VA, I had done a lot of research on other schools in the area, and I'm so glad I ended up here - save yourself the search time and just choose VA- you will be happy that you did. Can't wait to go back 🙂

Excellent overall experience at VA. Highly motivated and knowledgeable instructors, maintenance on sight, and a friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend.

I have always wanted to learn how to fly but there was always something that got in the way. Earlier this year I decided to commit and finally make this... read more dream happen! I’ve researched a lot of the Aviation schools in Las Vegas and finally decided to give Vegas Aviation a try. They have a really nice fleet of C172’s, excellent rates, and very personable and knowledgeable CFIs. Many would say the same about their school of choice, however last night Vegas Aviation went above and beyond to help me and a friend out and now will forever have my support and business. Backstory: Aviation is tough! And sometimes we get stuck doing the same things over and over again. To break the cycle, I’ve been taking flight lessons at all the different places I visit. One of those places was SF. I met a really amazing CFI there and have become great friends! She was finally visiting me in my hometown, and I wanted to reciprocate her kindness and generosity by checking off a bucket list item (Night flight over Las Vegas). We scheduled a flight in advance, however due to some scheduling conflicts it looked like we weren’t going to get to go anymore 😞… I asked my old Vegas Aviation CFI, Ngaio if he knew anybody that could take us up last minute. He worked on a solution for us all night and the very next day .…. BOOM! A few hours later we were flying above the Vegas strip with the owner of Vegas Aviation! As a business owner myself, I have SO MUCH respect for Business owners who are willing to go above and beyond.The fact that Ngaio has this relationship with the owner, Louis speaks volumes! Louis was very personable and you could tell that he LOVES aviation! He was happy to be there and he took us on an amazing flight and shared extensive knowledge. Honestly, i feel like I’ve made a life long friend! Louis and Ngaio, THANK YOU so much for making this an unforgettable experience. Vegas Aviation will be my GO TO school and top recommendation for all my certificates and airplane maintenance needs! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This was my first flight experience in Vegas. I called and asked about aircraft rentals and they were very friendly and professional on the phone. The facility is great! Clean... read more and very well laid out. The instructor that did my checkout Alex was great he explained everything about the flight school it’s services, requirements, check out process and rental info very well and was fun to fly with! The flight was great the aircraft are nice with updated avionics and perform very nicely. I would definitely recommend this place to other renters and students as well .

Awesome discovery flight with Lukas! Great place!

Amazing school, low prices, and the best instructors. They really care about improving their students development.

My brother came to Vegas Aviation to inquire about renting a plane to fly over Red Rock National Park. He is a pilot in Illinois. The staff at Vegas Aviation... read more were extremely patient, friendly and knowledgeable. We had a great experience and will be returning soon to fly!! Trust is the key, and they definitely earned ours!

Leo and Loius went above and beyond to get my C206 fixed with short notice. You can feel they care about their customers and they will go the extra mile... read more to make sure you get back in the air. Thank you for showing up late at the ramp to fix my brakes.

I love the school and how their CFI’s all have different teaching styles. They’re so into helping each student that walks into their doors.

Certified flight instructor was reassuring, knowledgeable and welcoming, very friendly environment. Quick tour of the facility and aircraft before the discovery flight started. Observed, our son’s flight takeoff from the airport terminal observation deck with a good view of the airstrip. Will be considering additional instruction through this school. Would highly recommend anybody for a discovery flight and pilot license instruction with Vegas Aviation.

Always a great time at vegas aviation. Got my first solo here and the flight instructors are very nice and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend anyone to fly here. 🤙🏽

Great welcome, Great training. Highly recommended

I started off my flight training at a different location. There was nothing wrong with it, but it just felt like more school. I found my way to Vegas Aviation,... read more and that’s when things changed. There isn’t a better group of people around than the ones you will find at VA. The instructors genuinely care about you succeeding and moving forward, not just the hours they are building. I’ve had the genuine pleasure of working with a few of the flight instructors and I look forward to working with more in the future. The staff managing VA (talking about you Jennie) are the most approachable and accommodating people you will meet. I literally called her at 4 AM once when I didn’t realize I was in a different time zone and she answered the call and helped me out. The maintenance team is world class. They manage to keep five planes in the air practically 24/7 in addition to the other work they have on their plates, but will still drop what they’re doing to answer any questions you have or explain a system in the plane. To make a long story longer, I can’t imagine a better place to learn to fly and I know that I’ll be making regular visits to VA long after I’ve earned my wings and am flying professionally. I’d also like to thank the instructors I’ve worked with: Andrew, Derek, and Jack for helping me along my road as a pilot and pushing me forward while also being good friends. Just attended an Autopilot Workshop hosted by Amber and learned a ton!

It’s been a great experience. The planes are kept in a great condition, my flight instructor Adrian is really patient and cares about teaching. Definitely a great choice.

Due to strong winds, my flight with the instructor had to be cancelled, but was rescheduled without any problems for the next day where the winds were better.
