Im looking for a good FBO at Van Nuys or Whiteman airport. Has anyone flown with any specific companies at these locations? ive looked at every FBO at both airports but was hoping for some first-hand accounts.

Thanks
 
I started at Hollywood Aviators at VNY. I dug the place, it's part 61 free lance instruction if that's what you're looking for. I think they have a couple sims too for your inst ticket. I like VNY more than WHP though, because you got to see the jets!

That one is on the list. I couldnt find the cost of flight instruction though. their aircraft rates are about $93 wet. Do you happen to know how much the flight instruction was?
 
I got my private at Vista, WHP. Prices were the best at the time (2001) never had a problem there. I think you will get more for your money at WHP because it is not a very busy airport. What city do you live in?
 
I paid my instructor $40/hr. But at VNY you get to see jets! Hahaha, that and you get to see SWA come overhead while in the pattern to BUR.
 
Wow Vista's rates are pretty good! Just hop the freeway or whatever and fly at VNY during pattern stuff so you can build the 500hr x/c also and see jets.

Newhall. In Santa Clarita. About 15 miles north of KVNY.

Indeed the jets are nice. Isnt KVNY the busiest general aviation airport in the United States?

Yeah something like that. But that VistaAir has pretty good rates, if I researched before starting I probably would've went there. But man, I dug VNY a lot.

Crazy. I live in Canyon Country of Santa Clarita. If I can get some money together maybe we'll be flying together if you choose to go to KWHP.

When the I-5 gets congested you can take San Fernando road all the way to WHP.

ah the wonders of side streets!! i go to school at notre dame in sherman oaks so i drive the I-5 every morning. Every year there are more houses in santa clarita and i have to add another 5 minutes to the drive.

Anyway, back to topic.

Vista is $87 for a 172 and $26 for instructers (i hope they see every penny of that $26) I didnt see anthing about multi engine planes though.

I found one called Sun Quest. They are at both WHP and VNY. I can get a 152 for $75 and an instructor for $25.

Jeez. $25 and $26 dollars for instruciton. Isnt that a little low?
