Flight schools in Nevada

Where training happens in Nevada

32 flight schools are listed across 10 cities in Nevada, flying from 9 different airports.

Busiest training airports

Fields with more than one school on them are worth knowing about: you can visit two or three in an afternoon and compare them properly instead of driving across the state twice.

Beyond the private certificate

Not every school teaches everything. These are the Nevada schools that list training past the basic airplane certificate, which is where the state's geography tends to show: seaplane work follows the water, and mountain and tailwheel training follow the terrain.
