Flight School Near Beverly Hills

Some skills cannot be bought — only earned. A short run over the Sepulveda Pass, LA Flight School puts Beverly Hills residents in command of a turbocharged Cirrus at the airport where Hollywood keeps its jets, backed by 15+ years of instruction and a 4.9-star record.

Getting Here From Beverly Hills

Two good roads lead north. The direct one: Santa Monica Boulevard to the 405, over the Sepulveda Pass, off at Burbank Boulevard and up to the field — about 25 minutes. The scenic one: Coldwater or Benedict Canyon over the hill to Ventura Boulevard, then west to Balboa and north to our office at 7900 Balboa Blvd., Suite D3. Free parking either way, and a lounge worth arriving early for.

The Cirrus Standard, Minutes From The Golden Triangle

Beverly Hills clients tend to arrive with a specific picture in mind: leather seats, a glass panel, an airframe parachute, and an instructor who treats their time as the scarce asset it is. That is precisely what our Cirrus SR22 Turbo program delivers — primary training in the same aircraft you may one day own.

Van Nuys is also simply the right address for it. This is the airport of studio jets and record-setting aviators, ten minutes over the hill from your side of town, and its tower handles high-end general aviation all day long. You will fit right in.

Why Beverly Hills Students Choose Van Nuys

  • About 25 minutes via the 405 — or a pleasant canyon drive over Coldwater

  • Discretion as standard — we have taught plenty of names you would recognize

  • 4.9 stars from more than 500 reviewers over 15+ years

Flight School Near Beverly Hills — FAQ

Which flight school is closest to Beverly Hills?
With Santa Monica Airport's runway shortened and its future uncertain, Van Nuys is the closest full-service training field — LA Flight School sits about 25 minutes from the Golden Triangle via the 405 or the canyons.
Can I do all of my training in the Cirrus SR22 Turbo?
Yes. Some clients fly the Cirrus from their very first lesson through their checkride. It costs more per hour than our standard trainers, but it is the right choice if you plan to own or rent Cirrus aircraft afterward.
I travel constantly. Will my progress survive my calendar?
We design for it: an assigned instructor tracks exactly where you left off, lessons run 9 AM to 9 PM every day, and we front-load skills that hold up well across gaps. Many of our graduates trained around international schedules.
Is a discovery flight a good gift?
It is one of the most-gifted experiences we sell — $229 buys real flying over Los Angeles, and the recipient can apply the fee to a full course within 24 hours if they catch the bug.
What does the private pilot course cost?
$10,900 in our standard fleet, with Cirrus-throughout pricing quoted individually at a free consultation. Financing exists but most Beverly Hills clients simply pay as they fly.
