About Arizona Flight Training Center (AFTC)

Arizona Flight Training Center (AFTC), established in 2008, distinguishes itself as a premier custom flight training provider in the Valley, offering an alternative to larger, mostly international flight schools. AFTC focuses on providing a personalized experience, catering to the individual needs of each student pilot. The center boasts a 5,000 square foot training building and a 5,400 square foot maintenance hangar. Their fleet includes a variety of aircraft, including Light Sport aircraft, trainers, rentals, and multi-engine aircraft from manufacturers like Cessna, Piper, Czech Sport Aircraft, and Cirrus, some equipped with advanced glass panels. AFTC emphasizes customized, structured programs tailored to suit individual needs, whether for recreational or career-oriented goals. They offer Military Transition Courses for the Airline Transport Pilot rating and CFI add-on, which are popular among transitioning military personnel. AFTC aims to provide the best opportunity for military aviators to pass their check-rides efficiently. What sets AFTC apart is that they do not distinguish between students pursuing recreational flying and those aiming for a professional aviation career; every student receives the same high standards of training from experienced flight instructors. AFTC also offers both Part 61 and Part 141 training programs, allowing students to choose the option that best suits their needs. Students using VA funding are required to enroll in Part 141 courses. Directed study ground programs are utilized for most courses, recognizing the value of students' time and offering guided study and multimedia resources for effective learning. Flight operations are conducted 24/7, with aircraft dispatch available after administrative hours with prior arrangement.
