Flight Training at Van Nuys

American Aviation offers a flight-school pathway for people learning to fly for fun and students preparing for aviation careers at Van Nuys Airport (KVNY).

01

First certificate and recreational goals

Private Pilot training builds the foundation for flying as pilot in command: aircraft control, preflight planning, airport operations, communication, navigation, weather judgment and risk management. Sport Pilot training is another recreational pathway to discuss, subject to the student's eligibility and the aircraft and instructor appropriate to the training.

02

Ratings and professional development

Instrument, Commercial, Multi-Engine and CFI training build on earlier experience. Each stage has its own knowledge, skill and eligibility requirements; progress follows proficiency rather than a promised calendar.

03

Talk about your actual plan

Instruction starts at $35 per hour. Aircraft rental rates are published by tail and payment method on the aircraft page. Contact American Aviation with your experience, schedule and goal to discuss a sensible sequence and current availability.
