Scottsdale Executive Flight Training

I was impressed with the facility but even more impressed with Tanner Allen my CFI. Getting my private pilot has been a long term dream but without the support from Scottsdale Executive it won’t be reality. It’s been over a year from my first visit and the service is still impressive.

Fantastic school with great instructions! If you’re looking for a flying school, I highly recommend learning here!

I originally got into flying when my mom bought a small plane when I was in high school.
Being around planes put the flying bug into me, so I started taking flying lessons and always loved it. Unfortunately, I had to stop flying when I went to medical school, but I never stopped wanting to get my private pilots license.
I was browsing around Unilocal over the weekend and found a compelling review for Scottsdale Executive Flight Training and contacted the reviewer. He highly recommended the instructor Carl May.
Well, I had my first flight today!
A LOT has changed since the Cessna days.
Although they have several Cessnas available to rent/​train on, the cool kids fly the Cirrus.
Scottsdale Executive Flight Training has 3 Cirrus models: SR20, SR22, SR22T.
I tried the 2010 Cirrus SR20 G3 200 HP, Fuel Injected, 155 KTAS with Garmin Perspective Avionics & Synthetic Vision System, AC, Jeppesen Charts & Approach Plates, Active Traffic Warning System, Terrain Awareness Warning System, Sirius XM Radio, XM NEXRAD Weather, Dual GPS/​AHRS/​12″ monitors/​Garmin Autopilot, Airframe Parachute & Bose headsets.
Besides the amazing planes, I couldn’t be more impressed with the Instructor Carl May. He was everything you want in an instructor: firstly an excellent pilot & extremely knowledgeable. He is also very easy going and knows how to make flying lessons fun.
The facilities were impeccable.
There is nothing that could have made my experience more perfect!

I ⁵⁄₅ highly recommend Scottsdale Executive Flight Training and Instructor Carl May!

I have been a flight instructor since 2002. I have seen lots of different flight schools at lots of different airports. I chose to rent airplanes here because the staff is friendly and the airplanes are well maintained and easy to schedule. Ops even rolled out the carpet and parked the plane for me tonight!

I contacted Alliance 3 weeks ago to get help knocking off the rust from not flying for 8+ years. I was put in touch with Tanner within 24 hours and back in the sky within a week. Tanner was great to fly with, clearly knowledgeable about the aircraft and the area. With Tanner’s help I was able to regain proficiency and confidence quickly and am now back in the saddle and looking forward to all sorts of adventures in Alliance’s well-​maintained rental fleet. I highly recommend Alliance and specifically Tanner for anyone looking to get into (or back into) flying!

Awesome flight school! The staff is friendly, instructors are knowledgeable, and the aircraft are well maintained with advanced avionics.

I would highly recommend Alliance Flight Schools. Dave Thomas helped me with my instruction and really understands high level customer service. My schedule is really busy and Dave did a fabulous job of being prompt and thorough in meeting my needs for a flight proficiency check ride. He even offered to have me call his personal cell phone in the evening to coordinate a training plan. Their aircraft are second to none and are meticulously maintained. Top notch operation that makes it easy to do business with them.

I am proud to be a flight instructor at Alliance Flight Schools! I came into the business with a strong flight background making me marketable to many flight training centers in Phoenix. I CHOSE to work for Alliance because of their incredible facilities, highly maintained equipment, and the integrity the organization brings to flight instruction. Qualities and characteristics which Cirrus has recognized naming Alliance Flight Schools the ONLY Cirrus Platinum Training Center in the State of Arizona.
I get to come to work and share my passion for aviation shoulder to shoulder with other professionals who share my values; Quality and Safety. For this reason I am proud to be a part of Alliance Flight Schools.

Great place to learn. This flight school has an owner that really cares. He is very honest (which is hard to find in aviation). I am sure you will be happy going here.
