Ready to begin? Enrolling is simpler than you might expect. From your first flight to your first lesson, we walk you through every step — choosing a program, handling the paperwork, sorting out your medical and financing, and picking a start date — all from our home base at Van Nuys (KVNY) in Los Angeles.
There are two easy ways to get started, and either one works. Most students begin with a Discovery Flight — a hands-on introductory lesson where you take the controls and decide for yourself whether flying is for you. If you enroll within 24 hours, 100% of that flight is credited toward your training.
If you would rather talk it through first, book a free consultation. We will learn your goals, recommend the right program, walk you through cost and scheduling, and answer every question — no pressure, no obligation. Either path puts you on the runway toward your certificate.
Here is exactly what enrolling looks like, from first contact to your first scheduled lesson.
Start with a Discovery Flight or a free consultation so we understand your goals and you get a feel for the school.
Pick the path that fits — from a Private Pilot License to a full airline career. We will help you match the right program to your goals.
Fill out a simple enrollment form and provide a valid photo ID. We keep the process light and walk you through anything you need.
Schedule a quick exam with an FAA Aviation Medical Examiner for your medical certificate. We can refer you to a local AME.
Choose pay-as-you-go or flexible financing. We will make sure the numbers work before you ever step into the cockpit.
Get matched with an instructor and schedule your first lessons. We fly seven days a week, 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
The first real decision is which program to enroll in, and it comes down to your goal. Flying for fun and personal travel? A Private Pilot License is your foundation. Dreaming of the airline cockpit? Our airline pilot program takes you from zero experience to a competitive airline application.
You can also add ratings as you grow — an instrument rating for all-weather flying, a commercial license to get paid to fly, or a CFI certificate to teach and build hours. Not sure which fits? That is exactly what your free consultation is for. Review every option and price on our pricing page.
None of the practical steps are as daunting as they sound. Enrollment paperwork is short — a basic form and a valid government-issued photo ID. To fly solo and earn most certificates you will need at least a third-class FAA medical certificate, which comes from a quick visit to an FAA-designated Aviation Medical Examiner. We will point you to a local AME so you are not searching on your own.
On the money side, you are never locked into one approach. Many students pay as they go, lesson by lesson, while others use flexible financing to spread the investment over time and start sooner. Our Private Pilot License program starts from $10,900, and we will lay out the full picture before you commit so there are no surprises.
Once your program, paperwork, medical, and payment are squared away, the fun part begins: scheduling your training. We pair you with a dedicated FAA-certificated instructor and build a schedule around your life. Because we fly seven days a week from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM and keep a well-maintained training fleet, you are rarely waiting for an open slot — the more consistently you fly, the faster you progress.
For 15+ years and across 500+ five-star reviews, students in Los Angeles have trusted us to turn their goals into certificates, all under FAA Part 61 standards. When you are ready to enroll, we make the start as smooth as the flying.
