    From the time I got in through the door until the time I left, I had such a fun time! I found this place through Air BnB experiences, and it was worth every dollar! Moe is an amazing instructor! It was my first time flying! I was definitely extremely nervous (and sweaty) from the anxiousness and excitement! We flew from the Van Nuys Airport to another airport in the mountains of Santa Clarita! Moe made me feel really comfortable right when I got in the plane. He told me I can take over the control once we got up into the air! Any time I felt uncomfortable, he would have taken back the control. I had one of the BEST time of my life! TIP: Moe has the cutest dog ever and her name is Bella! She greeted me at the door!! What better way to start this crazy fun experience with the sweetest dog ever!!

    This was a gift to my boyfriend for his birthday (booked through Airbnb Experiences) and WOW. It did not disappoint. I think this will go down as the best gift I've ever given. Moe showed us such a great time that I'm pretty sure my partner wants to learn to fly for real. I felt safe with Moe who had duel controls. We took off and landed 2x, so my bf and I could both be co-pilot. It's quite surreal and thrilling. Come camera ready

    I booked this experience for my birthday. I'm so glad I did! I walked away very very very happy. Seriously, Moe was such a trooper for being so patient with me and the coolest pilot all around! He's knowledgable, he's too calm & collected that you'll feel at ease and will just enjoy the ride. It's worth every penny & more. I may do it again soon, and if you're reading this and thinking about booking - CLICK THAT BUTTON NOW

    Had a very fun once in a lifetime experience. Moe is a really genuine down to earth person who will allow you to feel comfortable in what's considered to most an uncomfortable situation. He answers all your questions and takes you to see Los Angeles in a perspective many people let alone residents get to see. He is very easy to talk to and has the cutest pup Bella who you will love even more. I'd like to say thanks to Moe for answering all my questions and letting me take controls and being such an amazing person for this experience. So if your considering doing this don't even hesitate this is something you can't ever regret and Moe is the only person you should have as a pilot.

    MOE THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN!!! Best experience ever. I got my husband the best instructor For his Birthday. Moe is a AWESOM INSTRUCTOR, great personality. He made my husband feel confident in flying. We can't wait to go back and if we could put more then 5 stars we would. One of the best.

    My co-panda :))

    Whether you are looking to have an exciting, fun and out of the box experience just for a day of adventure or wanting to get quite serious with learning how to fly a plane to gain a new skill set up to possibly having a private pilot license (cause why not), then this is undoubtedly the perfect place to go to! Moe, the chief flight instructor, is laidback but is very efficient and informative nonetheless. He will make you feel at ease and confident about taking control of the plane while ensuring safety at all times :) Sam is also there to make certain that the plane is in great condition so there's nothing to worry about ;) Appreciate LA views from on high and feel the thrill as you take flight! :P Going to the Flight Academy is also a cool way to meet someone new - I formed a bond with my learning mate and we've kept in touch albeit being continents apart! And if you're lucky, you'll also get puppy cuddles from Bella bellisima!

When I was…read moreresearching flight schools in the area, he was the only one who took the time to answer my questions immediately and honestly. While others felt focused on selling, Anthony felt focused on peopleand that made all the difference. During my Private Pilot License training, I genuinely had the best experience. As a queer pilot, I felt fully embraced, respected, and supported by everyone at the school. That kind of environment matters more than people realize, and LA Flight Academy delivers it effortlessly. Mason, my CFI, has an incredible way of connecting with studentsclear, patient, and motivating. Sean Haughey is also outstanding, both in ground instruction and in the air. You can tell they truly care about teaching, safety, and your growth as a pilot. The level of professionalism, security, and safety at this school is incomparable. I couldn't be more thankful to have landed here. Thank you again for an amazing semi-accelerated PPL experience. I'm excited to continue all my ratings and commercial training with you.

We were…read moreactually recommended to go here by a friend who had a son go through their training program and is now a fully licensed pilot. The location is professional with ample easy parking. The large hanger has multiple planes that students can choose from. It is super cool to walk around in if you haven't been around any aircraft, like me! The folks there were so nice and patient with us and answered all our questions which gave us peace of mind, knowing that our child would be in good hands up in the air. We are really pleased with our instructor, Zach, who is just amazing. My daughter loves being taught by him because he is easy-going and very thorough & patient with his teaching. He is extremely knowledgeable and it seems like he eats breathes and dreams all things aviation. If we have any questions in regards to flying, he has all the answers. We are really excited for our daughter as she progresses through her aviation journey and can't wait until she reaches her goal of getting her pilot's license. Rumor is, One Source is actually the best flight school there is at Van Nuys Airport so we are happy we made the right decision by coming here.

Both of them are super knowledgeable and able to keep us safe in the sky. Just like them, im sure the other instructors that are a part of one source are just as good. Also very cool dudes. The hanger is nice. Sweet planes inside and a spot to chill. Very welcoming to all. The planes are well maintained and on schedule. These guys respect the condition of the aircrafts they use. Always taking care of issues right way if one comes up. Good for me , good for you. I recommend One Source Aviation because of the professionalism, friendship, and all around knowledge i have gained from them. Special thanks to Alex! You the man! Still want to do that barrel roll jake!

    Amazing Experience! Must Try!!!…read more Booked: Discovery Flight for my 16 year old son Check-in Process: Simple, Booked the Room with the Owner Blake couldn't have been easier. Parking: Parking was free and is located directly in front of the hangar this was not a issue at all. Facilities: Waiting area has a clean bathroom, Mini Arcade :) tons of cool stuff to see. Offered us water. People: Mason - Flight instructor - My son could not stop talking about how great Mason was. He really explained everything to him before and while on the flight. My son was able to both fly and do a callout while in the air. If he was at all afraid mason put him at ease you rock! Blake - Owner Honestly could not be a nicer guy, explained the whole process and let me hear the ATC and we were able to track the flight the entire time. We were also able to go out and see the plane off and see it come back in. Such a cool experience and I didnt even do the flying! Plane: SportCruiser looked to be in perfect condition, such a cool little plane. My son mentioned it was extremely comfortable and he had an absolute blast. If you or anyone you know has any interest at all in flying you need to get them here ASAP. Thanks again guys

I was sent to a checkride without being properly endorsed for it and was made a fool when I arrived to my checkride. I was told over and over again that I was ready when in fact I was not even close to being ready. As a student, we put our trust and faith into the CFI, and to see that they don't take care you of you is insane. Not to mention their planes are absolute trash, barely taken care of, parts missing or broken, Jerry rigged and improperly calibrated. It's just a matter of time before there's an accident. Seth, the owner is horrible. He only cares about you when you are lining his pockets with money. DO NOT BUY THE TIME BLOCKS. If for some reason you have extra money left over, you will not get a refund. Make sure you turn off "auto renew" on your account so they don't automatically charge you. Leave that place as soon as your account drops to zero and never look back.
