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.

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!

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!

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

They have a great scheduling process and some of the best instructors I've came across. One in particular is Adrian Cadwell who is soon to be my new instructor. With CFI's like him you get the knowledge you need and are never stressed but taught in an amazing professional manner. All the CFI have different ways of teaching all are effective and get you down the right path. When you come to Vegas Aviation you will find it to be an easy going yet professional and steam lined learning environment where no time is wasted. CFI's such as Adrian always push you to do your best and really leaves ou in control with the aircraft teaching the best way see fit. Vegas aviation is truly the best flight experience I've ever had due to the people I'm around and the instructor I have.

Richard is incredibly proficient and thorough and spent his due diligence getting me recurrent for IFR flight in a timely manner.

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.

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 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.

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!
