Hands down the best flight school I’ve attended. The instructors are all high-time professionals with extensive knowledge. The scheduling is flexible and accommodating as well. The Cirrus is a high-performing platform with excellent situational awareness and safety features. And it has air conditioning!I trained with Vic for my ASEL add on rating and could not be happier. I knew what I was getting into in terms of cost, but trust me the value is absolutely worth it.

The experience was amazing. The best I have had. Friendly comfortable enjoyable

The plane was in great shape and the instruction was great. I appreciate their professionalism and ability to teach what I needed. Thanks to the Elite staff and David. Cant wait to fly with them again soon.

Great experience! Entire team is top notch. Vic is a legend.

The best of the best. You get what you pay for...

Before I chose a flight school, I did quite a bit of research and spoke with numerous individuals. I decided to go with Elite Flight Training based upon their reviews, fleet of aircraft (all Cirrus SR-22s), extensive experience of the instructors, and their track record. To say that I am pleased with my decision is a big understatement! Learning to fly at Elite has been an incredible experience and a true joy, and it has FAR surpassed my expectations. Chuck and Paul are extremely friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. I cant recommend them highly enough!

Chuck and Elite Flight Training have been a great resource for me and my family. I love flying the Cirrus and its such a great family airplane. The aircraft are well maintained and access is about as easy as it gets. Chuck is a real professional, and he is a great teacher. Thanks EFT!

I would not hesitate to Recommend Chuck to anyone I know. Chuck takes his time, has far more experience than any other flight school I interviewed, and makes the material very easy to learn. Chuck will teach you more than just the Book. He will make sure you are safe and know the ins and outs about flying.

The building looked cool

Elite Flight Training in Scottsdale offers the most experienced flight instructors in the entire Phoenix area. Elite Flight Training in Scottsdale exclusively trains in the Cirrus aircraft with advanced glass cockpit displays and advanced avionics providing a thoroughly modern training environment designed specifically for pilots who wish to learn on the same cutting edge technology they will fly as owners or renters.

I have been surrounded by pilots my entire life (Grandpa has 25,000 hours), so I knew when it came to learning/training; experience, hours and time are vitally important. My wife and I met with Chuck to get an understanding of his program. I was really eager to get my wifes opinion as she is a pilot as well who learned the classic way 20 years ago - the 6 pack and Cessna 150. Times have changed, technology and safety have changed, the principles of flying, have not. Chuck was great at articulating the value in modern technology. The Cirrus is a great training aircraft and even very cross country capable. As a busy Sr Executive and Business Owner, my time is of tremendous value. I needed someone that could work with my schedule, my time, my pace and offer the 1 on 1 experience. Chuck and Elite Flight Training were this and so much more. I exceeded my own goal of getting my private pilots license within 5 months and in fact, took my check ride after about 3 months. I can not say enough about the instruction I received, the lessons I learned (and continue to) and how Chuck and the team truly make you feel like family. Thanks to Elite, I have flown their impeccably maintained Cirrus aircraft to California for business and Austin Texas and Laughlin NV for vacation. I learned at an early age - you get what you pay for. There are much cheaper alternatives out there but I can ensure you, there are NONE better. This year I am closing in on 100 hours and look forward to earning my IFR rating as my next step. Happy Flying!!
