What Students and Pilots Say
★★★☆☆ 2 years agoWhat once was a famous flight training facility is now a slightly above average flight school with mostly inexperienced instructors. Facilities and aircraft are all owned by United and cooperation between them is poor. Flights need to be cancelled because of aircraft unavailability.

★★★★★ 6 years agoPerfect Training Center, I wish I had a center like this in my country. I hope one day visit and see all the facilities. I remember when I was young, and sent a letter, during the 80' , the sent me a big brochure, but it was out of my budget, a pity.

Planning Your Training Here
Planning training at a local school like Lufthansa Aviation Training USA, Inc. 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 Goodyear, 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 Lufthansa Aviation Training USA, Inc. 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 Goodyear 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.
