We make flying
fun again.
Pilot Training Las Vegas is an all-Piper, Part 61 school at North Las Vegas Airport, training everyone from first-timers to future flight instructors. You fly the airplane from lesson one, with a Gold Seal instructor beside you and weather that lets you fly almost all year.
No experience needed. A Discovery Flight is one flight, one instructor — nothing to commit to.

Take a Discovery Flight
A real first lesson in a Piper Cherokee: 30 minutes on the ground, then 1 to 1½ hours in the air with you flying the airplane and a Certified Flight Instructor beside you.
You’ll fly with a person, not a company.
- :01Before you fly — A 30-minute ground session on the airplane and the plan.
- :02In the air — Up to 1½ hours flying the airplane yourself.
- :03Back on the ramp — Log the time, debrief, decide nothing today.
Fly with confidence.
A towered airport, real crosswinds and density altitude, Class B and Class D airspace on every lesson, and an instructor who has been on this field since 2018. Training here is complete by design, not by luck.
An upgraded, well-maintained Piper fleet
Four Cherokee PA-28s and a PA-23 Apache twin, upgraded with dual Garmin G5s, Garmin GTN 650Xi or 355W navigators and ADS-B In and Out. Maintenance and logbooks are complete, and the local examiners know it.
One school, zero to CFII
Sport, Private, Instrument, Commercial single and multi-engine, CFI and CFII, all in-house under one roof at North Las Vegas Airport. No hand-off to another school partway up the ladder.
A Gold Seal chief instructor
Harsimran Singh is an FAA Gold Seal Flight Instructor (CFI, CFII, MEI, AGI) with more than 4,300 hours, over 3,800 of them teaching, and has instructed at KVGT since 2018.
Checkride-ready, with the DPE already booked
We have working relationships with the local Designated Pilot Examiners and schedule your checkride with them ahead of time. When you show up, you and your logbook are actually ready to go.

An all-Piper fleet, upgraded and IFR-ready
We fly five Piper aircraft from North Las Vegas Airport: four Cherokee PA-28s (three 180s and a 160-horsepower 140) and a PA-23-150 Apache twin. Four airplanes of the same family means a familiar Cherokee is almost always available, which gives students more scheduling flexibility.
- Dual Garmin G5 EFIS in four of the five aircraft
- Garmin GTN 650Xi / 355W GPS · ADS-B In & Out
- IFR certified · ForeFlight on provided iPads
- Piper Apache PA-23 twin for multi-engine training

Common first questions
The questions every first-time student asks before they book.
01 Do I need any previous experience to start?
No. Most of our students start with zero experience, and there is no minimum age to begin lessons (you must be 16 to solo and 17 to be certificated). A Discovery Flight is the usual first step.
02 What is a Discovery Flight?
It is your first real lesson: a 30-minute ground session followed by 1 to 1½ hours in a Piper Cherokee with you at the controls and a Certified Flight Instructor beside you. The Deluxe Discovery Flight is $295 (a $145 Basic version with a 30-minute flight is also available), the time is loggable, and the amount is credited back to your account after your first 10 flight hours if you continue.
03 Is it safe?
Yes. You fly a Piper Cherokee, a stable and forgiving trainer, with a Certified Flight Instructor on the dual controls the whole time, from an airport with an operating control tower. Our aircraft are maintained with complete logbooks, which is exactly what the local examiners check before every checkride.
04 How much does it cost to earn a Private Pilot License?
Our published estimate for the Private Pilot package is about $9,400, paid as you go: 30 hours dual, 10 hours solo and 10 hours of ground at a $165 per hour block-time aircraft rate plus $70 per hour instruction. The FAA minimum is 40 hours and the national average is 65–70, so flying often is the biggest lever on the final cost.
05 How do I get started?
Call or text 702-372-7552, or send us a message and we will call you back. The first step for almost everyone is the Discovery Flight: 30 minutes on the ground and 1 to 1½ hours in the air, with you flying the airplane.
