I must’ve toured at least 10 different flight training operations in the LA area, from Santa Ana to Van Nuys before I finally landed on Ascent Aviation. Many of those schools offered similar features, but Seth (owner) really nailed his operation. Besides having the VERY smart idea of not splitting his fleet with high wing and low wing aircraft, he also has a policy of having the refueling taken care of by a refueling service, minimizing the time students spend on the ground.

Additionally, the instructors at Ascent all have been trained through Ascent as students, know the planes very well, and stay on top of scheduling for both flying as well as maintenance. While I typically fly with George (he’s awesome) as my primary CFI, I’ve also flown with Cesar as well as Austin. They ALL know their stuff and are extremely professional.

Did I mention that Ascent has their own team of mechanics on the premises? This ensures the planes always have what they need, from a screw to an engine overhaul.

If you’re on the fence about which school to choose, let me save you the trouble: Ascent Aviation is it.

Ascent Avaiation is top notch! I’ve been there for about 7 weeks now, and let me tell you, this is the place where you want to learn how to fly! I met Seth, the owner, and he gave me the run down of the program (the career path) and what to expect. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and talks to you with respect right from the beginning. Unlike other schools, this one doesn’t ask you to cough up 6 figures just to start learning how to fly. The format is “pay-as-you-go”, and that makes it easier to segment out the costs. I’ve had the privilege of flying with most of the instructors so far, and all of them are outstanding! They make it really easy to understand the basics of flying and make you feel comfortable flying as well. Chris is my main instructor, followed by Yuri as my back up instructor. The amount of confidence they instill upon you when learning how to fly a plane has been amazing. Whether you want to get your private pilots license, or want to pursue a career in aviation, you should pick Ascent Avaiation as your school. Don’t look anywhere else, this is the program you want!
I had consultations with two other flight schools in LA before I sat down with Seth at Ascent Aviation. I knew immediately when I met Seth I was at the right place. You can tell he genuinely cares about seeing his students succeed. My instructor Nico is fantastic. He’s very patient, and level headed. Also, training at the extremely busy Van Nuys airport is valuable experience for a career as a professional pilot. Anyone looking for a flight school in LA should check out Ascent.
