Pilot Reviews
All the mechanics, dispatch staff, detailers, line staff, and flight instructors are amazing people to work with. CAA has a facility that makes you feel at home, a staff that really cares and knows everyone on a first name basis. Falcon Field is the greatest airport in the Valley, it’s busy enough to test your piloting skills yet small enough to make it a great training airport. CAA is the perfect place to train if you’re looking to train at a school where you’re more than a number and a dollar sign.
Hunter M. ★★★★★
I had my bi-annual review with them and got checked out in a C-172 at the same time. Great instruction, great rates, great facility and great people. This is the place to learn to fly or just rent a plane. I highly recommend this flight school to any other pilots or future pilots out there.

I currently flight train through Classic and also rent their aircraft on the side. Classic Air Aviation is awesome. I’ve been to a lot of flight schools and can honestly say the staff here is knowledgeable, friendly, and put a high emphasis on pilot safety. They have several nice aircraft to choose from and their instructors are professional, always available to answer my questions, and take the time to make the process fun and relaxing.
