Train in the Remos GX, AirCam, or Sonex at Glendale Regional Airport. Sport Pilot through CFII. Phoenix's 300+ flying days are your advantage.
No Cessna 172s here. FES flies three aircraft you won't find together anywhere else in Arizona.
Primary Fleet
Modern, fuel-efficient, and glass cockpit-equipped. The Remos GX is FES's primary training aircraft — ideal for Sport Pilot, Private Pilot, and recreational flying. Competitive rates, high performance.
Special Program
For multi-engine qualified pilots. The AirCam's glass canopy and low-and-slow flight profile deliver breathtaking panoramic views of the Phoenix Valley. An experience unlike anything else in the state.
Special Program
For qualified pilots interested in flying or building a Sonex aircraft or experiencing aviation in a Sonex. An EAA-community favorite — a nimble, capable sport aircraft that gives you a feel for what real stick-and-rudder flying is about.
Not sure if flying is for you? One hour in the cockpit will answer that question. You fly the aircraft over the Phoenix Valley with a CFI right beside you. No experience needed.
From first flight to flight instructor — FES has the programs to take you all the way.
When your goals and ours align, the training works. We're invested in your success — and we expect you to be too. That shared commitment is what separates pilots who finish from pilots who almost did.
You have a clear reason for wanting to fly — a certificate to earn, hours to build, or a lifelong dream to chase. You're not just curious. You're committed.
You can show up regularly. Progress in flight training is built on momentum — students who fly often advance faster and retain more. We invest in those students.
Flying isn't just stick time — it's ground study, weather awareness, and decision-making. Our students take that seriously, and it shows in how they fly.
We get to know every student before they commit to a program. The Discovery Flight isn't just an intro — it's how we decide, together, if we're the right school for you.
