Exciting News from Cirrus!

As a clear leader in general aviation in design, technology, and safety, Cirrus is yet again taking strides to set themselves apart. This time, they're tackling flight training. Awesome! As innovative as the company is/has become, the flight training community should be excited. We certainly are!

In all honesty, it's long over due.

Our primary goal in starting a Cirrus training center in LA was to give flight training a face lift. Starting with the aircraft, though structured training and newer syllabi, and ending with the best customer service we could possibly provide. No more circa 1970's planes, videos, and 100lb flight bags. No more huddled around 20 yr old coffee pots having E6B calculation contest. Update your Ipad, update the plane, go fly! And be able to do it smarter, safer, and more efficiently because we can, damn it!!!

Clearly Cirrus has many more resources than us but as a training partner, we're excited we all share the same vision, let's change flight training for the better. With an updated training portal chalked full of excellent resources and, what sounds to be, pretty cool currency and Cirrus training incentives for pilots to soon roll out, we'll make sure as Los Angeles' Cirrus Training Center that we're keeping you all informed.

Stay tuned!

Los Angeles' Debut Cirrus Center Moved

First of all, thank you Torrance airport for letting us get the flight school, pardon the pun, off the ground. It was a great place for us to get our "feet wet" while building and constructing our vision. (Of which, on a side note, we're nowhere near as we have a grand vision for the new face of flight training in Los Angeles.) But as the universe has lead us elsewhere, we have grabbed the "bull by the horns" and taken on the tedious task of relocating.

With that, hello Hawthorne! KHHR

Multiple reasons lead us to the move, but after close evaluation, we know it's been in Los Angeles' best interest for us to do so. 

The most important part of our move is that we're now as accessible as we can be from every area in LA. Having a location, literally, right off the 105 freeway, we're hop, skip, and...

Between the 105, 405, 110, La Cienega, Hawthorne Blvd, or whatever else you can imagine, there's no need to deal with any other airport for your rental and flight training needs.

Oh yeah, no departure curfews, no landing fees, no noise abatement (we obviously practice "quite flying procedures however), a wonderful FBO to operate out of (Jet Center LA), and a quickly growing airport (Tesla and Space X are on the field, naturally), are all but a few great reasons KHHR is LA's up and coming airport. Why not have a Cirrus center there as well?!
