Aerobatic Training at
Chandler Air Service

Our pilots are full time employed Certified Flight Instructors at our school. No part time or beginners are allowed to provide this training. No professional pilots working somewhere else work here on the side. No commercial pilots giving training who can’t sign log books or give dual. These instructors instruct in all areas of flight training and know how to teach and handle each pilot’s individual needs. We interview every pilot to learn about their background, experience and goals. We adjust every program as necessary to meet a persons needs.

We have tailored programs for various branch’s of government and groups of pilots to meet their employers and personal needs to improve their skills.
