AV8R Unlimited operates under Part 61 using a structured, syllabus-based training approach similar to Part 141 programs.

This allows us to maintain consistency and standards while retaining the flexibility to tailor training to each pilot’s schedule and learning pace.

AV8R Unlimited operates in the Glendale / Phoenix area, serving pilots throughout the Valley.

For added convenience, training flights may be arranged at select East Valley airports when coordinated in advance. In these cases, aircraft repositioning time to and from the requested airport is billed accordingly.

AV8R Unlimited conducts training in a Light-Sport Aircraft (LSA) using a structured, syllabus-based approach under Part 61.

Depending on the student’s goals and the aircraft’s equipment, training may be provided toward the following certifications and ratings:

• Sport Pilot
• Private Pilot
• Instrument training
• Commercial Pilot
• Certified Flight Instructor (CFI)
• Certified Flight Instructor – Instrument (CFII)
  

Training is tailored to the individual pilot’s objectives, experience level, and regulatory requirements. Certain certificates or ratings may require specific endorsements & experience to complete.

Overnight use may be approved on a case-by-case basis, based on pilot qualifications, operational considerations, and current flight schedule demand. Approval is not guaranteed and must be coordinated in advance.

Our aircraft are maintained to a high standard, including 50-hour oil changes, 100-hour inspections, annual inspections, and any additional required maintenance. All work is performed or coordinated through a trusted, on-field FAA-certificated A&P to support prompt attention and minimize downtime. Maintenance timelines may vary based on scope of work, parts availability, and A&P scheduling.

No. Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) availability is controlled by the FAA and independent examiners. AV8R Unlimited does not guarantee checkride dates but will assist with preparation, endorsements, and coordination when you’re ready.

Availability and timing ultimately depend on regional DPE schedules and demand.
