Fleet in context

Match the airplane to the lesson

The fleet includes two-seat primary trainers, four-seat single-engine aircraft and a twin-engine Seminole. A student’s choice depends on the certificate or rating sought, instructor recommendation, proficiency, aircraft checkout and schedule—not merely the lowest hourly figure. Instrument, complex-aircraft and multi-engine work have different equipment and experience considerations.

Aircraft rates cover rental only. Instructor time is a separate charge; written-test, examiner, medical, insurance and other personal expenses may also apply. Ask for a current estimate that reflects your existing experience and training plan.

Plan from Van Nuys

American Aviation's flight school operates at Van Nuys Airport (KVNY). Training at a busy towered airport gives students repeated exposure to clearances, radio work, taxi awareness and the practical rhythm of Los Angeles airspace.
