Sky harbour = KPHX
Southwest based there,as are America West and America West Express. Many other airlines fly in, Delta, American, United etc. Several cargo aircraft there also. No training schools I think, airspace is all Class B. Just outisde this airspace there are lots of schools: search for: Falcon Field Municipal Airport. .Chandler Municipal Apt. .Goodyear Airport. .Glendale Airport. .Casa Grande Airport. .Williams Gatewat Airport GOOD LUCK, wx and scenery there are AMAZING! |
Don't forget Deer Valley. I did some flight training out there. Great fun flying, bit bloody hot though. make sure the aircraft you hire's got a/c. Panam used to be based out of there, don't know if they are now????? <img src="cool.gif" border="0">

Skyharbor is easily in the top ten busiest airports in the world, probably around 50% busier than LHR on a movement basis. It was the busiest two runway airport in the world until they put in 7R/25L recently. There is a flight school there, but you will spend a lot of time and money on taxiways if you train there. I've been in and out in a warrior for the hell of it, no big deal, just call them up a good 15 minutes beforehand. PHX App very friendly and will always try to fit practice approaches in even when they are busy.
Multiple class D airports under class B wedding cake. <a href="http://www.phxskyharbor.com/" target="_blank">Main Phoenix Skyharbor Site</a> Airnav pages <a href="http://www.airnav.com/airport/KPHX" target="_blank">Phoenix Skyharbor</a>. .<a href="http://www.airnav.com/airport/KFFZ" target="_blank">Falcon Field</a>. .<a href="http://www.airnav.com/airport/KSDS" target="_blank">Scottsdale</a>. .<a href="http://www.airnav.com/airport/KDVT" target="_blank">Deer Valley</a>. .<a href="http://www.airnav.com/airport/KCD" target="_blank">Chandler</a>. .<a href="http://www.airnav.com/airport/KGYR" target="_blank">Goodyear</a>. .<a href="http://www.airnav.com/airport/KGEU" target="_blank">Glendale</a>. .<a href="http://www.airnav.com/airport/KIWA" target="_blank">Williams</a> Yes, weather splendid. Yesterday hit the low 80s, much the same for the rest of the week. BBQs all through the weekend though the pools are still a bit chilly. [ 25 February 2002: Message edited by: slim_slag ]</p> |
SKAZ,
Try Swift Aviation (or Swift Air) - it is a growing FBO with flight training based at Sky Harbor. Another good flight school in Phoenix is Sawyer Aviation based at Scottsdale Airport. The flying conditions are fantastic in Arizona - but expect 3-4 hot summer months - but the rest of the year the weather is WONDERFUL!!!! Hey, with 320+ days of sunshine and calm winds per year, you can't ask for much more... Trust me, you'll love it there! . .Cheers |
