Availability is the whole game in aircraft rental. A club with two airplanes and fifty members is a waiting list, not a flying club. Our fleet depth — six types across the ramp — means weekend mornings are bookable and a plane in maintenance doesn't ground your plans.
The maintenance is done in-house and the airplanes work for a living, which means squawks get fixed now, not eventually. And because we're a working school, there's always an instructor around for a flight review, an instrument proficiency check, or the complex and high-performance endorsements that open the Arrow and the Cirrus.
Van Nuys itself is the bonus: two parallel runways, a GA-dedicated tower, and the whole of Southern California within an hour — Camarillo for lunch, Catalina for the halibut, Big Bear for the mountain checkout you've been meaning to do.
