Great flight school, I have been going to this school for a while now the service is absolutely amazing. I recommend a few of my friends here too.
They are great a great training program using motion flight simulators and great airplanes combined.
Also they are the largest flight school around...
Excellent experience,
Great flight school, I signed up for their private pilot package. I couldn't be happier with the service, airplanes and my flight instructor.
Highly recommended.
Before giving these people your money, do a search and read the news articles. Their planes are trash and I would not trust anyone I know and love to either rent or learn to fly in them. There are safer, cheaper, and more logical options than Encore. I did not feel welcome in their office and the ow...
Loved coming here. Never thought I would be capable of flying a plane and now it s all I think about! Super clean and organized. With a Humble and kind staff. Also really easy to find and park! Airplanes are nice and high tech.
Just took a tour with Alex!! I can t wait to get stared with this school. The syllabus looks amazing and it has absolutely everything I need to change careers at this point in my life!!
I had 2 flight experience with their piper N310EF, first flight we taxied to the gas station which they were out of fuel so we taxi back to encore , I paid 1.0 for aircraft and instructor for doing nothing!! I was charged $328 at that day.
Second flight experience was even worst!, we taxied to the...
Great flight school, I have been a client for over 3 years. I have been renting almost all their aircraft, they are in a very good shape. They recently added some new airplanes and flight simulators, so I couldn't be happier to see than.
One of the best experiences of my love, Encore flight is amazing. Everything has been as promised on day one from my consultation. Great airplanes and flight simulators. Setup a consultation with Alex, he will go over all the needed information.
I couldn't be happier. Thanks Encore.
I went here for an intro flight lesson. Really pleased, very friendly and helpful.
Stay away from this company! I'm a military pilot that went to the company to receive training in the Piper Seminole for an ATP license. They delivered a mechanically defective plane without proper documentation of maintenance records. I cancelled the service without receiving any training from t...
In my opinion, I believe that Encore Flight Academy is a amazing place to go for discovery flying. The staff is very friendly, informative and capable of answering your questions completely and thoroughly. I would highly recommend this flight school to anyone that wants to start a career in aviation...
As one of the local examiners that refuses to do check rides for Encore students put it, Encore is a disgrace to the aviation community . This pretty much sums them up. They have a terrible reputation at Van Nuys airport and is the worst flight school in the area. Their airplanes are junk, poorly m...
Hello all,
I wanted to take a second and write about my experience with Encore Flight.
I started my training with them about a year ago. I have been flying in the their Cirrus, and i also fly with Flight Simulators. The overall experience has been great.
I signed up for my course with Alex in...
Great flight school, the airplanes are in a great shape, also they have a full in house maintenance facility that works on their own aircraft 5 days a week.
There are also 7 FAA Approved flight simulators at the school, they make all the difference in training.
And lastly they have a great bra...
Great flight school to that utilizes many different techniques to teach individuals the fine arts of learning to handle a plane. I signed up a while back and my contract included training which taught me the bare essentials as well as flight necessities which I know will help me out. The memorable e...
I signed up for the career program with Encore Flight. Everything has been exactly as promised on the first day. I have been flying with Joy, she is a great flight instructor.
I really like the flight simulators, you can learn a lot using the sims.
Go see one of the instructors for a your of the...
Amazing facility, great service, more like a flight university than a flight school. Highly recommend them... Arthur is my instructor and he is amazing!
I had a great experience with Encore flight school. They have great airplanes and simulator.They also have very friendly and professional staffs and instructors especially Erika . Overall it was an amazing experience.
I m having an amazing time great instructors and staff!! Excellent school
Super fun flight experience! The instructors are very knowledgeable and I enjoyed the full motion flight simulator:)
Amazing Flight school, I really love my experience with encore so far, I am almost done with training and I couldn t be happier. They have a great fleet and amazing flight simulators. Go see Alex he is amazing.
I just want to say they are amazing, I got my private license package for a really good price. They have the best simulator, very friendly staffs, professional instructors and their maintenance is great.
Great flight school, highly recommended. They have really nice airplanes and flight simulators.
Stay as far away from them as you can. Training at this place and giving them my hard earned money was the biggest mistake of my life.
What an amazing experience! Everyone must try it. Fantastic cusomter service. These guys are pros at what they do! Special Thank you to our pilot Bryan for making our flight more memorable!
Someone from this company is sending out counterfit checks in the mail do not cash
Such a good experience great simulator and airplanes
Brief background about myself. I am currently a full time pharmacy school student at USC and I have a part time job. I recently turned 25 and I have two years left in my pharmD program. I decided that I wanted to get a private pilot license as a hobby. The idea of flying is just so cool and it is a ...
Very professional staff with many years of experience. Great focus on safety. up to date fleet.
I had a great experience ar Encore . Staff and instructor are friendly I highly recommended Encore has a best simulator and airplane .
I'm working weekday but they open 7 days a week so i can come on weekend. The price also is better than any place .
Very bad school. They tell many lies to get your money. This is not a school for a serious pilot. The simulators are ok but the airplanes are terrible and always broken along with very low level instruction.
This is an amazing flight school. I did a ton of research before signing up here. The customer service is superb. They always have available aircraft and flight simulators, that's one of the advantages of having the largest fleet of aircraft in Van Nuys.
I have been flying in the Diamond and Cir...
They are so professional and friendly staff. They have best simulator .
The owner does not honor his words he promised to return our money now he does not return our calls
One of the best experiences of my life! My instructor Joy was amazing and informative of how and what different controls are done and how the radio works communicating with the tower. Definitely would do again!
Great operation. I saw a few negative reviews here that i believe might not be fair and/or accurate. So i though I should share me experience.
I initially started my flight trainig about 4 years ago, back then I met with Alex, he was one of the flight instructors. He explained all the benefits and ...
Great place for flight training. Took my sister here for a flight experience and she LOVED IT. I got my private pilot license from here.Excellent maintenance on planes, never had an issue with them.
I had a really great experience with simulator and airplane. Staff and instructors are very friendly. They have a great maintenance. The price is also affordable.
This place is amazing, I have been a client here for while. My instructor is Alex, he is great, everything so far has been as promised on day one. I did a lot of research before enrolling, they definitely had the best pricing and the best airplanes. I highly recommend them.
One of the best experiences of my life, great customer service and aircraft. They have a brand new facility in Van Nuys airport, with more than 20 aircraft and 6 flight simulators. Pricing is very reasonable, I did a lot of research before signing up for a package.
They have an amazing flight sim...
great experiance and wonderfull staff
Highly recomend
Great place to learn how to fly the instructors really help you out to get what you need to pass your checkrides
I looked at their aircraft and scary is the word. I can see they don t put a lot into maintaining these aircraft, they look pretty beat up.
This academy is the best academy in LA. I'm so happy for being part of this awesome academy with their friendly instructor and staff , awesome airplane and simulator .
I can tell you guys you will not regret, i highly recommend Encore
Great place for flight training, they have a large fleet of airplane, I think over 20 aircraft. They also have 5 flight simulators. The staff is also really friendly, the front dest ladies are great and I really like my flight instructor.
I did a lot research before signing up, I believe they hav...

I started the classes just a while ago
I really enjoy the classes and the staff .
I commend the encore flight for those of you interested in learning to fly.
Alex has helped me so much
Like the previous reviewers, I want to warn other potential students / renters about this place. I went there about 2 years ago, to rent a Piper PA-28 for a few days.
The planes looked great on the pictures, the owner was also very friendly on the phone. When I arrived, it however turned out that...
If you what first class service you need to checkout Encore Flight.
I am current student at Encore, I started flying here about a six months ago. I signed up the complete package they offer, I am going to get my Private Pilot, Instrument and Multi engine ratings. The training has been a lot fun s...
As an engineer, I am very skeptical of safety issues and am generally very risk averse. So before I signed up for my flight training, I did a thorough research of different flight schools in the area. Encore Flight was the best I could find in the area, from friendly front desk, to having many airc...
Encore Flight school has been the best since day 1. They have treated me with respect since the day I first came into the school and helped me prepare for my future. The instructors here are great. I recommend Ashish Patil as an instructor he is prepared for any zero hour students to commercial or C...
I do not recommend Encore Flight Academy for flight training.
On Sept 13, 2017, I put down a $5000 block payment for flight instruction for a multi-engine add-on. I have a commercial instrument rating. Encore's requirement was that any balance left in the account would be refunded back to me if a...
I wanted to make sure to write a review on Encore Aviation/Encore Flight academy to warn other prospective students about this scam of a flight school so they wouldn't have to go through the same headaches and massive troubles I went through. I put 2,000 dollars down for flight training to receive a...
Great flight school! I have looked at a few other schools and am happy I decided to get my private certificate at Encore.
They have plenty of pa 28 Cherokee planes available so there is always one available.
The instructors are not overbooked and available. They also seem to care more about th...
Usually people write long reviews to share their experience with others. Unfortunately I'm not one of thoese people who writes pages In fact I don't like to write unless I'm super impressed and I must tell you this is one of those cases that I was beyond surprised with their service, staff and equip...
I've had a great experience at encore such a great simulator and airplanes
Friendly stuff and instructor
Amazing flight school! I'm so glad I found them! They take their time and make sure u are prepared! Great customer service:)
Incredible school and wonderful facility, with knowledgeable staff and management. We highly recommend them.
Great flight school, the service is amazing, great aircraft and flight simulators. They are in a brand new facility at Van Nuys airport, with total of 20 aircraft and 7 FAA Approved flight simulators.
Erika had a great actitud and is very positive.
Encore flight school Is wonderful!!!
Excellent flight school, I saw some of the negative reviews here and I thought i should share my experience with Encore flight. I personally got to know the owner of the school, he is very knowledgeable about aviation and as former airline pilot, he is very experienced in running an aviation program...
Just called to get information and the guy who answered was really rude !! I guess that was a head up to don't go there.
Amazing flight school, I just purchased a trading package from Alex for my multi engine training. My flight instructor is really knowledgeable and experienced, the aircraft is in great shape as well.
Thank you encore
stay away from those guys you will live longer.
a complete rip-off don't fall a victim.
This place was amazing! New to the Los Angeles area and have always wanted to earn a private certificate. Encore was the perfect place! Great people, aircraft, and best of all...its right here at the busiest GA airport in the world! Super excited, I highly recommend Encore!!
Had an amazing time with the professional and experienced staff.
Hello all,
I wanted to take a few moment and wrote about my experience with encore flight.
Me and my boyfriend are both encore students, we did a lot of research and comparison between flight schools before choosing them. We stared flying about a year ago. I called and visited a lot of flight sc...
