Granada Hills is about 4 miles north of Van Nuys Airport, and one road, Balboa Boulevard, runs nearly door to door. If you are searching for a flight school near Granada Hills, our school trains new pilots, teens and career changers every day from 9 AM to 9 PM.
Granada Hills is a north Valley community of tree-shaded streets, ranch homes and hillside neighborhoods climbing toward the Santa Susana Mountains. It is home to the mid-century Balboa Highlands Eichler homes, the trails of O'Melveny Park, the Knollwood golf course and the large Granada Hills Charter high school campus. It is a family-oriented place, full of parents who might finally pursue a long-held goal and teenagers ready to start one.
For both groups, convenience matters. From most of Granada Hills you can drive straight south on Balboa Boulevard and arrive at our door, which makes it easy to keep a steady lesson schedule. We are open 9 AM to 9 PM, seven days a week, so lessons can fit after school, after work or on weekends. As an FAA Part 61 school we adapt to each student, which is especially valuable for teens balancing school, sports and college applications, and for adults balancing careers and family.
About 4 miles from KVNY, much of Granada Hills connects to our school by a straight drive down Balboa Boulevard.
Open 9 AM to 9 PM daily, we make after-school and weekend lessons practical for Granada Hills high school students.
Learn in the Cessna 162, Piper Warrior or Diamond DA20, then advance to the Piper Arrow, Piper Seminole twin and Cirrus SR22 Turbo.

Under Part 61 your instructor tailors each lesson, so you are never pushed faster or held back slower than your progress warrants.
Financing through Stratus Financial offers terms up to 15 years, and in-house plans give families another way to budget for training.
During a discovery flight you fly the airplane yourself with an instructor beside you. Depending on the route your instructor plans, you may spot the green slopes of O'Melveny Park, the Knollwood golf course, the reservoirs of the Van Norman complex to the east, and the Santa Susana Mountains rising behind the neighborhood, with the 118 freeway cutting across the north Valley.
