Westwind School of Aeronautics is proud to bring you the best professional and customized flight training options available. We have listened to industry professionals and created a comprehensive flight syllabus that includes everything you need to stand out above the competition. We hold ourselves to the highest degree of professionalism with formal ground schools, airline oriented flight training, a comprehensive flight syllabus, and the most advanced training in cutting edge glass cockpit aircraft and simulators.

In addition to our structured professional flight training programs, we also offer training to students wanting to take flight lessons so they can enjoy the thrill of flying for recreational purposes.  While the customized training is geared towards the leisure pilot, the training you will receive will be to at the same high standards we use for our students working towards a career as a professional pilot. offer

With the current shortage of pilots in the US Airline industry, there has never been a better time to pursue a career as an airline pilot.  Our graduates are being hired with as little as 250 hours by airlines around the country.

Never Pay In Advance!

At Westwind School of Aeronautics, we do not require you to sign a training contract or pre-pay for flight training.  You simply pay for each flight after you complete each lesson.  Many schools around the country require you to pay thousands of dollars in advance, and if the school goes out of business you lost that money.  Before you consider another school that required you to pay in advance, click on the following links to read articles in the Las Vegas Review Journal and Arizona Republic about a different school that collected $80,000 from 2,700 students before suddenly shutting their doors.

There is really no need to pay in advance for flight training!
