Students about the training team

Great flight school, instructors, and prices. Aircraft are well maintained and instructors are very professional. Highly recommend flight training done here.

I just completed my private pilots license with AVZ Aviation. They are absolutely the very best and go the extra mile to get you certified ! If you want to fly this is the group I highly recommend!

Blake Chrisman

I have so much appreciation for AVZ and how they have helped me become the best pilot I can be. When I started training at age 47, I was uncertain if my age was going to be an obstacle. The support given to me by the school was impeccable and I continue to train with AVZ because I know they care about my success. I have made many lasting friendships here and am proud to be a student and colleague of this awesome school.
