Discovery Flight

Came from Australia for a U.S. holiday and some pilot-sightseeing. Did a checkflight here and then took one of their 172’s out to the canyon. Great work by their team... read more to get me up and away. If you’re not a local and want to fly the canyon, go see this company. No fuss, easy to work with, good people.

Puno Salvador was an amazing Instructor for my first Discovery Flight!

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

Had an amazing first experience in the sky with Flore. Best instructor I could’ve asked for. Thank you 🙏

I love attending Vegas aviation. It’s very warm and inviting. The flight instructors to the people that work and run the office are super friendly.

Awesome discovery flight with Lukas! Great place!

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 .

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

Staff is very friendly and the CFI's are very knowledgeable.overall a really good place to fly for

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!

Vegas Aviation is great! Their instructors (especially Haylee, she's AWESOME) are super knowledgeable and nice and they focus all their attention on the student. This is the way to go... read more for part 61 learning in Southern Nevada.

Very disappointed in their policy and lack of support to keep children encouraged in their journey to become pilots. I am active duty airforce and my children have done discovery... read more flights in different states. I worked at Nellis AFB and My children were turned away from this flight school because we are not residents of Nevada; again the intent was to sign up for Discovery Flights. A policy that doesn't allow children the oppurtunity to fly in new environments (regardless of primary residence) defeats the purpose of a discovery flight! Little does Kevin know, these cadets could be stationed right at Nellis AFB! Update: (since I cant reply to the owner) Your website: WHAT IS A DISCOVERY FLIGHT? A Discovery Flight is an aviation experience where YOU actually get to take the controls and fly the airplane under the safety and guidance of our expert Certified Flight Instructor (CFI), followed by a post-flight summary briefing. Your flight time actually counts toward private pilot requirements and can be entered in your Pilot Log Book! I reached out to schedule and the email response was unprofessional and presumptive "we do not provide sightseeing flights". The "policy" mentioned in the owners response is not what is written on your website. Feedback: include on your website that you only make time for discovery flight for people who will also sign a contract to attend your flight school. That would be a more accurate description of your policy. Or, your representatives can ASK the customer what their intent is instead of assuming.

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

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!

If you’re looking for a flight school out in Las Vegas or in the nation then I highly recommend Vegas Aviation!!!! The owner of the school is all about paying... read more it forward towards future pilots!!! He hires the best employees ever and CFI’s (Certified Flight Instructor)!!! The dynamic of the school is not about ME it’s about “WE” and I love that feeling as a new student. Everybody at that school is all about helping everyone out and looking after each other. OMG Lilou is seriously by far the best Certified Flight Instructor ever!!!!! She is incredibly energetic and kindhearted!!! She is extremely intelligent and she has set goals planned out for her students so get ready!!!!! Also a special thanks to Mitch at the front desk he took the time for hours over the phone explaining the school and is the true face of the company, that guy is full of knowledge!! If I could create a slogan for this flight school it would be #WeFlyPayingItFoward Thank you

Discovery flight was an 11/10 experience for me!

Considering this was my first flight experience, I can definitely see myself committing time and money to enroll in this flight school. Thank you guys

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.

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’ve got to say that Vegas aviation is by far the BEST flight school in the valley. I used to train at cactus but after making the switch, I wouldn’t... read more go anywhere else.

Currently working on my instrument rating with my amazing instructor, Haylee Rolnick, who is amazing at what she does.

First time flying on a small aircraft! Great experience, smooth flight overall.

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.
