Commercial Pilot Training

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

This has got to be one of the best flight schools around. There isn’t a single thing I would change!

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 had a great experience today with the team at Vegas Avation. Everyone was friendly and made me feel welcome right away. Paniau is the man , he was... read more my CFI today. He was a great pilot and very knowledgeable about the school and aviation in general. He answered all of my questions thoroughly and helped me plot out my next couple steps as a student pilot.

Overall it was a great experience I would recommend to anyone.

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!

Today was my first solo, and I would like to thank my CFI Brad for making it fun! Highly recommend.

I highly recommend Vegas aviation flight school to anyone looking to learn flying from scratch or getting another rating. They are flexible and work with your learning needs. Having their... read more in house maintenance is a huge plus, because planes are not normally out of service for a long time. I have the privilege to be instructed by Haylee. It doesn’t take much time around her to notice how truly professional and passionate about everything aviation she is. Her passion along with her commitment to her students gives you the tools you need to to learn how to fly. I met her while I was trying to convert my license from another country to FAA, she took the time to research the best and most efficient way to go about that for me. Her thorough and up-to-date mastery of tools used in today’s aviation are second to none. I had my ppl license at a very small remote airport (mostly class G airspace) where most of my radio experience is announcing my position and intentions to other pilots that I already know personally. Haylee worked extensively with me on my radio skills and gaining the mic confidence to be flying in the very busy Vegas air space. It is still a work in progress, but I wouldn’t have done it without her guidance. I also really like how she asks “and what do you think the answer is?” Every time I ask a question before giving me her own answer. That question allows her to gauge her students’ knowledge and also to instil the “think before you ask or act” skill that all pilots need. There is no doubt that I am a better pilot today because of the skills that Haylee taught me and I now have a solid base to expand upon. Another benefit is that I now have a fellow pilot and trusted friend to make this journey down the road of aviation a lot more enjoyable. Now I have the passion…Thank you Haylee and thank you Vegas Aviation!

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.

Went on a couple flights with Vegas to learn the area and flying around Class B. The instructor, Haylee was great!

Would highly recommend anybody for a discovery flight and pilot license instruction with Vegas Aviation.

Such an amazing place to learn to fly. Puno is the best CFI in the world, Vegas Aviation is home when it comes to learning to fly

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. 🤙🏽

Currently working towards my PPL and just did my solo flight, I wanted to share that I am extremely satisfied with Vegas Aviation so far. 👍🏻 The planes are... read more consistently well-maintained and they have a dedicated in-house maintenance team that works around the clock to make sure the planes are ready for use. I appreciate that the school has a good amount of planes which makes it easier on scheduling flexibility. As a person who travels for work and takes lessons whenever I can fit it in my busy week, they always work with my schedule which is great. I never really had any issues in booking a lesson at a desired time that worked for me. Additionally, the instructors here at Vegas Aviation are professional and want their students to succeed with safety as a priority. The quality of instruction, rental costs, fleet reliability, and professionalism really make this school the best. I will recommend this school to anyone wanting to pursue their ratings at a quality school!

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.

Planes are ok but there is a nice amount of them. I do wish they were newer but that just being picky. Love the instructors a lot and the facility... read more is great. once they upgrade their fleet it'll be five stars fs

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!

Rented a plane here. Process was smooth. Plane was ready and air worthy. Would recommend to anyone looking to rent for a good price!

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 !!

I moved to Vegas for three months to continue pursuing my PPL at VA, and I got to say, it's definitely a great place to learn.

Hands down the best flight school in the area! Their flight instructors are experienced, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about aviation. They have a talent for breaking down complex concepts, making... read more learning to fly both accessible and enjoyable. They also have a wonderful maintenance crew that continually ensures every aircraft is in perfect condition.

Finally, the overall atmosphere at the school is incredibly supportive. From the office staff to the instructors and fellow students, everyone is positive and encouraging with a focus on helping each other succeed.

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!

Flore the instructor was very excellent, instructions quick but clear for someone like me since I'm a combat veteran with similar pace

Great flight school if you are looking to rent a plane to fly around in the area or go to the Grand Canyon. I already came with a US PPL,... read more and as always had to do a flight beforehand in order to be able to rent the aircraft afterwards. 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. After the flight with the professional instructor Flore, I went up to Page via the Grand Canyon to experience the once in lifetime view. I will definitely come back again to go flying in the area. Thanks again Vegas Aviation!
