Welcome to the Flight Services Section!

Thank you for taking interest in flying with American Flight Centers, LLC! Whether you are looking for aerial photography, aerial surveys, a ferry pilot, or flight instructor, you have come to the right place! Our pilots and flight instructors are highly knowledgable and highly experienced! If you are simply interested in aerial photography, surveys, or need a ferry pilot, skip down near the bottom of the page to review our rates or contact us for more information! But, if you are here to start flight instruction, get ready to experience the most effective training curriculum in the industry. Whether you are a new student or a seasoned pilot, our programs are tailored to fit your schedule and your learning ability.

The Initial Experience

When training with American Flight Centers, you’ll experience a level of professionalism that is unmatched. You will begin an amazing journey that will be remembered for the rest of your life! If there is any advice we can offer, it is to pace yourself and not rush your pilot training experience! You will have many great years to fly without a flight instructor so take your time and learn all that you can while we fly with you.

Safety is our absolute number one priority. As such, we are in the business of delivering wisdom which only comes through time and experience. If you plan on rushing your pilot certificate you may have come to the wrong flight school. We teach more thoroughly than other flight schools, incorporating mountain flying, desert flying, cross-countries into complex airspace, spin training, and real soft field operations. This requires added disclipline on your part. If safety and wisdom are the most important things to you, then welcome aboard!

Other flight schools may teach you only what is required, only what is absolutely necessary to pass the test for the certificate or rating sought. We don’t believe our students should have to learn through testing nature with trial and error after they become a pilot. We want you to enjoy the luxury of many safe and adventure-filled years of flying. That’s why we focus on teaching thoroughly and covering the mistakes pilots commonly make. Best of all, If you ever have a question during training, our flight instructors will answer your question after hours, by telephone or e-mail at no extra charge. Its just one more reason to train with a company that cares.

Where We are Located

American Flight Centers, LLC offices are located at the Mongtomery Field in San Diego. This provides for an excellent atmosphere to learn in. There is rarely a day that isn’t perfect for a flying lesson. Even when the weather isn't cooperative, the area makes for the perfect place to earn your instrument rating! Our primary service location is at Gibb's Flying Service, located between the 15 and the 163 on Aero Drive. Appointments and lessons can be scheduled twenty-four hours per day, seven days a week at the bottom of this webpage. Ground Instruction is given in the office prior to every flight. The office serves as the meeting ground for students and flight instructors by appointment only. When you schedule a lesson or a scenic flight with us, the pilot or flight instructor will meet you prior to the flight, inside of the lobby at Gibb's Flying Service.

Sharing the Experience

If you are ready to take an introductory flight, share the experience with a friend or loved one! At no extra charge, you can bring a friend or family member on your first flight to share in the excitement! This is something that no other flight school offers!

We have taught numerous couples, business partners, and roommates side by side. Training in this manner helps learning to occur faster as it bonds common interests and facilitates learning through discussion and support when away from the airport! Even if the friend or loved one you bring along does not wish to learn to fly, they will still enjoy the experience with you!
