Excellent flight school. Tito (the owner) really puts time aside to educate his students on what they need to be successful in their training. All the instructors are great (Mike, Jeff, Wade). Love flying with all of them.

I was looking to do some instrument currency in their old-school style simulator. It was beneficial, and Tito was very professional. I will be returning soon for some more practice. I would recommend this to anyone who needs to do some six-pack instrument flying! Great prices too!!

I have had the privilege of knowing Tito and his staff of Instructors (shout out to Mike L.) for the past 3 years and have nothing but the utmost respect and gratitude for them. Tito always takes the time before and after your flight to conduct a 'mini-briefing' with you to make your upcoming flight the safest and most enjoyable. My 'day' job is teaching aviation courses for a local high school and Tito offered to …

After reading the above review, I felt I must leave a review myself. I have personally known Tito and Jeff for over a decade and have over a thousand hours flying with Jeff professionally.

Planning Your Training Here

Planning training at a local school like Aerosim Aviation trades the academy's speed for flexibility and often meaningfully lower total cost. The pay-as-you-fly model keeps your money in your control, and training two to three lessons weekly around work is the proven rhythm, enough frequency to retain skills without the academy's all-in schedule. The variable to manage is momentum: local-school students who succeed book standing lesson slots, fly year-round, and treat ground study as homework rather than something that happens at the airport. Ask about aircraft scheduling depth, instructor availability on your target days, and examiner wait times in Glendale, the three friction points that stretch part-time timelines.

What Flying in Arizona Teaches You

Arizona is the closest thing American flight training has to a weather cheat code: well over 300 flyable days a year, which is why airline academies cluster here. The trade is heat. Summer density altitude turns a routine takeoff into a performance planning exercise, and monsoon season builds afternoon storms that teach real weather respect. Phoenix-area students also inherit busy, professional airspace, with Deer Valley regularly ranking among the busiest general aviation airports anywhere.

How to Evaluate Aerosim Aviation on Your Tour

Every school on this directory gets the same advice from us, because the fundamentals don't move. Walk the ramp and count how many aircraft are down for maintenance. Ask how many lessons a week they can actually schedule you, and how far out the booking calendar runs. Ask for first-attempt checkride pass rates and how long students wait for an examiner. And keep your money in your control: pay as you fly, or in small blocks with clear refund terms.

Then weigh the location itself. Training in Glendale means building your early hours in Arizona weather and airspace, and both become part of your airmanship. Our school-selection guide covers the full vetting checklist, and the financing page maps scholarships and loans that apply at schools like this one.

Common Questions About Training at Aerosim Aviation

How long would my training take here?

Part-time students flying two to three lessons weekly typically earn a private certificate in six to twelve months and a commercial certificate in two to three years, with pace set by your calendar and the weather. Consistency decides everything: standing lesson slots beat sporadic bursts by months.

What will it cost, and can I get help paying?

Get Aerosim Aviation's current rates directly; published numbers age fast in this industry. Nationally, plan on $80,000 to $120,000 from zero time to commercial certificates before instructing pay starts offsetting costs. Our financing guide maps the loans, scholarships, and airline cadet programs that apply here, and several scholarship cycles go undersubscribed every single year.

How should I arrange a visit?

Call ahead and ask for a tour on a normal training day, not a quiet one. Use the directions button above to plan the drive to Glendale, arrive early enough to watch ramp operations, and bring the vetting checklist from this page. A school proud of its operation will show you everything; hesitation is itself an answer.
