    Vegas Aviation is a great spot to start your private pilot license journey! Kevin greeted us with warmth and friendliness as he gave us a tour before the flight. He was very informative with the questions that we had. Rexton age 12, was teamed up with Brad the instructor. Brad was very nice and accommodating. This made Rexton's first flight very enjoyable. It's always a great experience to have people smile as they do their jobs! Vegas Aviation is very professional, friendly, and informative. I would highly recommend them and Brad to anybody in Vegas looking to fly an Cesna 172 airplane to start the piloting journey!

    I was in Vegas for the weekend and was very well taken care of by this flight school. Big shout out to the owner Louis for a special night flight over the Vegas strip. This was a bucket list flight of mine for sure and one that I will never forget. I will definitely be returning here whenever I visit Vegas. I recommend VA for flight training for their affordable costs and friendly staff!

    Early morning flight training.

    See all

    Flyright Aviation is a fantastic flight school. Luis and John are very passionate and dedicated to…read morethe upkeep of their planes and to get people flying. Luis runs his business with honesty and integrity. It's very noticeable that he cares. I called Luis at the very beginning of February and asked if he would be able to facilitate me getting my private pilots in an accelerated manner. I am from out of town and only had a month of availability to work with. I had a bit of prior flying experience, though it had been years since I last flew. I was definitely rusty. I was also struggling to retain the information from the online ground school platforms so I requested ground instruction. Luis assessed where my skill level, and with my instructor Travis, we came up with a plan to work towards my goal. Travis was thorough, organized, patient, and knowledgeable. He was very dedicated to giving me as much ground and flight instruction that I could handle. And he worked with the ambitious time frame I set for us. The schedule was demanding and rigorous, and there is still so much to learn. But with the quality instruction from Travis and Nikki and Luis's dedication to my success. I can proudly say the I got my private pilots license in a month. With ground instruction, and full flight hours. I have so much gratitude for the flyright team and hope to come back for my next endorsements. Thank you!

    It is truly a hidden gem! This family-owned operation is run with incredible professionalism,…read morepassion, and integrity. Luis (the owner and A&P) and John are absolutely awesome--they manage the school with a perfect balance of structure and support, making it a welcoming and focused environment for any aspiring pilot. Luis has an incredible depth of aviation knowledge, and his teaching style is second to none. He knows how to break complex topics down in a way that makes them easy to understand, whether you're just starting out or advancing your training. He trains professional pilots, not hobbyists--and it shows. If you're not serious or passionate about becoming a pilot, this probably isn't the place for you. But if you are, you won't find better. I earned my ICFI here in just a few weeks, and they keep the process moving--DPE checkride dates are usually only 1-2 weeks out, which is unheard of at most other places. In short, top-tier instruction, honest people, and a school that genuinely wants to see you succeed.

    I completed my private pilot license with Jamie several years ago. It was an amazing experience…read more As an educational professional and engineer, I had always wanted to finish the private pilot license that I started when I was in school. I started back up but doing one hour a week with my local instructor I could see it was going to take another year at least. Progress was slow. Looking for an alternative, I got in touch with Jamie. My first step was to finish the written exam myself. I engaged in self study, took a course, created tons of flashcards and did quite well. Then I went out and spent 2 weeks with Jamie. We flew almost every day. Some days were frustrating. Nothing would work. Then a day it would all click, and another day of regression, then it would finally all come together. I passed the checkride on the first attempt. Jamie has a good style for professionals. As an engineer and teacher, I probably had too many questions. I kept asking him how do I know when I'm about to touch the runway? How do I see it? Why isn't there a radar? Why are the instruments so small? etc etc. Of course he showed me all the moves, but he always came back to something along the lines of you just need to do it 300 times. And we'd go up back in the pattern and do it again. And again. I started having nightmares about French Valley airport. But I got it. I would definitely do it again. I haven't flown in a while and I may need to do it again in fact.

    I did some training with an instructor in my local area but couldn't quite get the training across…read morethe finish line, so I decided to take some time off work and do nothing but flight school. Jamie was super helpful and flexible in arranging several days where we did nothing but flight training, and I passed my checkride on the first try. He was great at injecting surprises into my training that made me a better pilot. My favorite was when the engine "failed" on takeoff - nobody else had ever done that to me in almost 80 hours of training - and I'm grateful for the knowledge that I can handle any crisis. If I had it to do over again, I'd start off with Fly Accelerated training - just take the time off work and do the training all at once. You'll get it done faster and can broaden your experience with other planes later with local instructors easier than if you are trying to balance your work schedule and flight training and raising kids or whatever else you have on your plate. In the long run you'll save money if you just do it all at once, and Jamie is top-notch.

    Looks like most of the information here is out of date, but the school is an excellent school for…read moretraining in the Las Vegas area. The school (as of September 2026) has 4 Evektor SportStars (TAA), 2 Evektor Harmonys with 914 UL Turbo engines (TAA, Garmin G3x), 2 Evektor Harmonys with 912 IS Fuel Injected engines (TAA Instrument Trainers with dual Garmin G3X displays and a Garmin GPS 175/GNX 375 Transponder), a Pipstrel Alpha Trainer (TAA with Garmin G5's), a Cessna 172 XP (195HP), an amphbious Icon A5, and a gyroplane. At the time of writing, the SportStars can be rented for as low as 140 and the Harmonys can be rented for 165 an hour. Price assumes a block is purchased. As far as value goes, I think that is about as good as it gets. Also, the Harmonys are literally brand spanking new. They look and feel GREAT. The school used to be located up in North Las Vegas, but now is located in Boulder City at KBVU. Its a good location. The practice area is easily accessible, the area is not tower controlled, and the FBO is located right next to the primary runway for the airfield. Generally, you can go from engine start to up in the air within 5-10 minutes (engine runup included). The airport has an instrument approach, which is good for instrument training and is in a good location to access other airfields in the area for a wide variety of other instrument approaches. It is located in an area that does not require a Class Bravo clearance, but is close enough to do the Bravo airspace to do training in it if desired. For ground facilities, they have a conference room downstairs, and a full classroom upstairs. Wifi is pretty fast (haven't had any issues with it yet), and its a good area for sitting down and getting some studying done. Good capacity in case you want to study with others, but usually quiet enough to study in peace by yourself if desired. In addition, the school makes a good deal of its revenue from its Certified Rotax Maintenece services. Not really my wheelhouse, but I do know that in the almost year that I have been there I have only had 3 flights that have not been able to go due to maintenance issues and the lack of a replacement aircraft. Usually, if a plane goes down for maintenance it is back online within a day (unless the issue at play is parts). All of this is to say, the maintenance team is exceptional. Over all, great place to learn to fly and rent aircraft.

    The best place to learn to fly in all of the Las Vegas area. I highly suggest this flight school…read morefor anyone looking to fly!
