// About Leopard Aviation

Your Premier Flight School At Scottsdale Airport And Falcon Field

Are you looking to earn your private pilot or commercial pilot license in Arizona? Fly with the premier flight school in Arizona, Leopard Aviation.

Our goal at Leopard Aviation is to provide the best flight instruction in the newest, safest, most technologically advanced training aircraft around.  Our Scottsdale flight school prides itself on hiring friendly Certified Flight Instructors that will tailor a training program to fit your needs and your schedule so you can accomplish your aviation goals as quickly as possible.  We fly Cessna 172S Skyhawks with Garmin G1000 avionics.  The Skyhawk is one of the most forgiving airplanes to fly which makes it a pleasure to learn in. Learning to fly can be a challenge which is why one of our guiding principles is “Flying is fun, learning to fly should be too.”

That means doing what is in the best interests of the student at all times.  We focus on being efficient with your time and resources, providing clear guidance and strategy to success, and reducing the frustration and stresses that can develop with flight training.  We believe anyone can learn to fly and that there is no such thing as a bad student, only a bad instructor.  That’s why we take pride in our students’ successes.  Whether you are a weekend flyer or you have dreams of becoming an airline pilot, we are here to help. Call the leader in Arizona flight schools when you’re ready to begin or continue your journey in aviation.

Join us at our Scottsdale flight school location or our Mesa flight school and you will be sure to enjoy your pay-as-you-go or fully financed flight school options.

As a high time professional pilot I wanted some piston light twin time to refresh procedures since I've only been flying jets for decades. Tyler was a real pro and excellent instructor. Highly recommend Leopard Aviation!

Leopard has an awesome culture going. They have created a chill low-key environment (and helped by plenty of LaCroix)
in which the instructors know you well and guide you through what you’re learning. It’s an exciting and fun way to learn to fly, and not at all stressful.

I have been flying with Leopard for a few months now and it is, by far, the best training I have come across. I have flown at 2 other flight schools in the valley and none of them come close to the professionalism and quality instruction that Leopard offers! It truly is the best flight school to train at!

I love Leopard Aviation. Staff is fun and friendly to everyone. Planes are new and fully loaded and well maintained. The owner doesn’t spare any expense even offering Bose A20 headsets for students to use during training.

My flight school experience with Leopard Aviation has been everything I could have hoped for. All the staff are extremely friendly and work together to help students succeed. It has been very convenient to do everything at my own pace to work with my schedule while still getting the support I need to complete my Private Pilot License in a timely/cost effective manor.

Leopard has been awesome so far. I am working with Aaron and he has been great. He has been very accommodating with my schedule and getting up super early in the morning so we can go out and fly. Can't wait to get my PPL. Update: Passed my check ride December 21st of 2020. Was very well prepared for the exam and flight test.
