At Essence Flight Academy, located at Van Nuys Airport, we offer both Sport Pilot (SPL) and Private Pilot Licenses (PPL)—two excellent pathways to achieving your aviation goals. Whether you're seeking a fast, cost-effective entry into flying or a comprehensive foundation for a professional pilot career, we have the right program for you.
✅ Sport Pilot License
Perfect for recreational pilots, the SPL is affordable (just $8,300), can be completed in 30 days, and requires only a valid driver’s license—no FAA medical needed. You'll train in the advanced Cessna 162 Skycatcher and enjoy flying light sport aircraft for fun and personal travel.
✅ Private Pilot License
Want more flying freedom and career potential? The PPL lets you fly larger aircraft, at night, and carry more passengers. Starting at $9,900, it's the ideal step toward commercial or airline training. We offer flexible financing—start for as little as $2,500 down!
🎮 Both programs use our Redbird MCX Full Motion Flight Simulator for a safe, immersive experience.
