James

I couldn't be happier with my experience at this flight school! From day one, the staff has been incredibly supportive, guiding me through every challenge with patience and encouragement. I've grown so much as a pilot thanks to their dedication and expertise. I want to give a special shout-out to Buse—she's truly outstanding and has gone above and beyond to help me through any difficulties. Her support has made a world of difference. Highly recommend this school to anyone serious about flying!

Campus Information

Commercial and Private Pilot Academy at Westchester County Airport (KHPN) in White Plains, New York.

At Westchester County Airport, we've cultivated more than just a flight training program - we've built a vibrant, student-centered community that thrives in one of the nation's most dynamic aviation environments. Nestled in a region known for its global connections and high-profile visitors, our campus offers students the unique opportunity to learn and grow amidst the steady rhythm of private jet activity and industry professionals.

Operating under the NYC metroplex airspace, our training environment challenges students with real-world conditions, preparing them for the complexities of aviation with confidence and skill. But the experience extends far beyond the cockpit. From quick escapes to the peaceful Adirondack Mountains to the energy of Manhattan - both less than an hour away - our location offers an ideal balance between academic intensity and lifestyle flexibility.

Our 4,300-square-foot campus, located in the Private Air Terminal on the West Ramp, was designed with student success in mind. Academic spaces on the second floor - accessible via both elevator and stairs - foster collaboration, mentorship, and growth. Downstairs, our maintenance facilities support hands-on technical learning, while additional hangar space enables students to engage in real-world aviation operations.

Here, students are not just trained - they are supported, empowered, and equipped to lead. Through mentorship, hands-on experience, and a strong sense of community, we're creating the next generation of aviation professionals who are as confident in the sky as they are in themselves.
