When it comes time to choose a flight school, there is no safer place to train than AeroGuard Flight Training Center. Click below to learn more about our exceptional commitment to safety.


First-Class Training
AeroGuard is a hands-on education. You will be learning in a flight simulator, available 24/7, flying missions, and working with instructors in small class sizes to ensure you’re learning the skills you need, nothing less. Our main campus out of Phoenix is the second largest airport in the area, just behind Sky Harbor International. This allows our cadets and instructors to fly over 160 flights per day, over 8 times the number of other flight schools.
Expertly Maintained Fleet
At AeroGuard you will have access to an expertly maintained fleet of 70+ aircraft, each complete with standardized cockpits and layouts. Many of our planes also include air conditioning, a crucial feature in the hotter months of the year. These aircraft, from the Piper Archer to the Cessna 152, are all expertly engineered to be the perfect vehicles to launch our pilots’ careers.


Student Support Is an Essential Part of Who We Are
For us, that means providing all of the guidance, resources, tools, and academic assistance you need. Our one of a kind student support includes:
- 24/7 access to our RedBird flight simulator
- Opportunity to backseat a flight or ground school
- Exceptional Instructors
- Dedicated Academic Advisors
- Pilot Mentoring and Workshops
- Student Services Team
- And more!
Transparent Tuition
AeroGuard keeps flight school costs manageable is through our transparent tuition model. Other flight schools sometimes offer deceptively low tuition costs, but these don’t account for everything a cadet needs. They do not include the substantial supplemental costs of testing, extra flight time you may need, and checkride fees necessary to complete your training and become a paid airline pilot.
