Not All Hours Are Created Equal
When training for a career in commercial aviation, every second counts. You want to be able to confidently inform employers that you are the most highly qualified and proficient pilot available.
In the world of aviation training, one school stands without equal: Coast Flight Academy. Flying the best aircraft and utilizing the latest technology and a strictly scenario based training curriculum. Coast graduates are recognized as premier aviators.
San Diego, California: A City Without Equal
Training in San Diego is, arguably, the best environment to learn to fly in. Southern California contains some of the busiest and most challenging airspaces in the world. Throughout training, students will become increasingly more comfortable in this diverse and challenging airspace environment. Within an hour flight radius of Coast Flight Academy, there are 2 Class B, 5 Class C and 21 Class D airspaces, 3 restricted military zones and over 70 uncontrolled airports. Within the same distance, you will fly over endless miles of coastline to the west and have the opportunity to land at airfields as high as 8,000-feet MSL.
In San Diego, we are blessed with beautiful weather for the majority of the year. However, the morning coastal fog layer and the diverse weather of California and surrounding states give us ample opportunity to train IFR in real Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC). Furthermore, training will take students to places such as Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Phoenix and Lake Tahoe.
San Diego is not just the city where Coast Flight Academy is based, it is also the city in which you will live, train and play. Living in San Diego, is to enjoy the best California has to offer. San Diego is widely recognized as one of the best places, in the world, to live. The active lifestyle of San Diego covers a wide range of activities – everything from sailing and surfing to jogging and playing golf. Whether you are riding your bike or going for an evening stroll, the natural beauty of San Diego area surrounds you wherever you go. San Diego’s coastline is dominated by beautiful sandy beaches, palm trees and miles of boardwalks. San Diego is the place to be!
