What Does West Coast Flyers have to offer that other schools do not? We own our own aircraft, including Cessna 150s, 172s, and even Beech Bonanzas for commercial and complex training. We have excellent maintaince and safety records. Our quality controll for our graduates and our instructors is at a much higher level than even the FAA demands. We also have experienced flight instructors who want to instruct. Many are Gold Seal which is an elite designation for Flight Instructors given by the Federal Aviation Administration. We also boast Advanced Ground Instructors, and Instrument Ground Instructors, specially trained to give you the edge when you take your FAA written exam, and oral checkride.
We also offer cheaper rates than most other flight schools. How do we do this? West Coast Flyers is privately owned and operated by a major airline captain. We own our own aircraft outright, and we work out of a smaller field to cut costs for you. As instructors we will not sacrifice quality of training.. There is no administrator or salesman here, just excellent instructors who want to teach you to fly.
