Choosing the right flight school is a big decision. It’s the first step toward earning your pilot’s license and starting your aviation journey. If you’re in Mesa, AZ, or the surrounding areas, SimpliFly Flight School is here to help you make the best choice. Here’s how to pick the flight school that’s right for you.

 

1. Location Matters

When choosing a flight school, location is key. You want a school that’s easy to get to so you can focus on training, not commuting. SimpliFly Flight School is conveniently located in Mesa, AZ, near Phoenix, making it accessible for students in the East Valley and beyond. If you’re in Gilbert, Chandler, or Tempe, you’re just a short drive away from starting your training.

 

2. Check the Fleet and Facilities

A good flight school should have well-maintained planes and modern facilities. At SimpliFly, we take pride in our fleet of aircraft and our state-of-the-art training center. When visiting a flight school, ask about the condition of their planes and the tools they use for training. This will give you confidence in your learning experience.

 

3. Look for Experienced Instructors

Your flight instructor will play a huge role in your success. Make sure the school you choose has experienced, certified instructors who are passionate about teaching. SimpliFly’s team of instructors has years of experience and is dedicated to helping students achieve their goals.

 

4. Understand the Costs

Flight training is an investment, so it’s important to understand the costs upfront. Ask about tuition, flight hours, and any additional fees. SimpliFly offers transparent pricing and flexible payment options to make training affordable for everyone.

 

5. Visit the School

Before making a decision, visit the flight school in person. This will give you a feel for the environment and help you meet the staff. SimpliFly welcomes visitors to our Mesa, AZ, location at 4855 E Falcon Dr. Stop by to tour our facilities and see why we’re a top choice for flight training in Arizona.

 

6. Ask About Job Placement

If your goal is to become a professional pilot, ask about job placement assistance. SimpliFly has connections with airlines and aviation companies, helping our graduates find opportunities after they earn their licenses.

 

7. Read Reviews and Talk to Students

Hearing from current and former students can give you valuable insights. Look for reviews online or ask the school if you can speak with some of their students. SimpliFly has a strong reputation in Mesa, AZ, and the surrounding areas, with many success stories from our graduates.
