Why Choose 30 Day CFI Flight Training Academy?

Southern California’s Most Advanced Training Fleet. Our aircraft are among the most modern at Van Nuys Airport. Every plane is equipped with the latest GPS navigation systems and full ADS-B In/Out capability — giving you real-time traffic awareness, ground proximity alerts, and in-flight FIS-B weather data from day one of training.

The Gold Standard in Safety We go well beyond FAA requirements. While the FAA mandates 100-hour inspections, every aircraft in our fleet also undergoes 50-hour maintenance checks. This commitment to rigorous upkeep has earned us a spotless safety record — zero incidents, zero accidents.

Instructors Who Are Here for You. Our certified flight instructors aren’t logging hours on their way out the door to a commercial airline. They’re here because teaching is what they love. That means you get instructors who know both the aircraft and the local airspace inside and out — and who are fully invested in your success.

A Job Offer Waiting at Graduation. When you complete our pilot training career package, a job offer comes with it — along with one of the most competitive starting salaries in the region.

30 Day CFI Flight Training Academy — Glendale's top-rated flight school, proudly serving all of Los Angeles and Southern California.
