About Us

LA Flight Academy (LAF) was established at Van Nuys Airport with a vision to provide high-quality flight training in the competitive Los Angeles area. What started as a passion project quickly evolved into a leading flight school with over 1,000 graduates and a 100% checkride pass rate.
Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our carefully curated team of experienced Certified Flight Instructors (CFIs), who have a combined 13,000+ flight hours and bring a wealth of real-world aviation expertise. Many of our instructors are trained in-house, ensuring a cohesive, family-like atmosphere that supports student success.
LAFA offers a range of programs, from Private Pilot Licenses (PPL) to advanced certifications like Certified Flight Instructor (CFI), Multi-Engine Instructor (MEI), and Airline Transport Pilot (ATP). We also specialize in accelerated multi-engine training, attracting students nationwide with an average completion time of 1.5 weeks.
Our modern fleet features IFR-capable aircraft equipped with Garmin Dual G5s and advanced avionics, providing students with hands-on experience using the latest technology. Additionally, we maintain strong relationships with Designated Pilot Examiners (DPEs), ensuring a smooth path to certification for our students.
Whether you're beginning your aviation journey or advancing your career, LA Flight Academy is here to help you achieve your goals with personalized instruction, state-of-the-art equipment, and an unparalleled support system.
