Our Training Airport and Area Westwind School of Aeronautics is ideally located at Deer Valley Airport (KDVT) in Phoenix, Arizona. The volume of local air traffic and superb year-round weather make the Phoenix valley an excellent location for flight training. Phoenix is one of the few locations in the United States where you can fly almost every day of the year. While Westwind School of Aeronautics is based in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area, students conduct operations throughout the entire southwestern United States. Numerous training activities are flown in Southern California, where students gain vital experience operating in instrument meteorological conditions. The diverse nature of the terrain found in the Southwestern United States enables students to experience a wide variety of flight conditions; coastal flying, mountain flying, instrument meteorological conditions, high density altitude - it's all part of the Westwind experience. Deer Valley Airport is controlled and radar equipped. The airport has several published instrument approaches and is operational 24 hours a day. Deer Valley Airport has two parallel runways, minimizing departure and arrival delays often found at many other airports. More than a dozen other airports are available for student training within 35 miles of Deer Valley Airport, including Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

Aircraft and Simulators Westwind School of Aeronautics currently operates a fleet of 25 aircraft and 3 flight simulators. Of these aircraft, 22 are year 2000 models or newer aircraft.

An additional 3Cessna’s with Garmin G1000 Digital Panels and a Piper Seminole are also available for lease. When maintenance is required it is performed on premises, by a highly skilled staff of 15 A&P mechanics and avionics technicians.
