Based on 47 reviewsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend One Source Aviation highly enough! From day one, their flexibility, professionalism, and commitment to student success were evident. I was able to earn my Private Pilot License (PPL) in under a month, thanks to their well-structured training and exceptional instructors. A huge shoutout to Alex, Peter, Jake, Aiden, and Ebrahim—each of them played a pivotal role in my journey. Their deep knowledge, patient teaching styles, and hands-on approach made complex concepts easy to grasp. Whether it was fine-tuning my landings, mastering airspace navigation, or preparing for the checkride, they provided top-tier instruction every step of the way. Beyond the instruction, One Source Aviation stands out for its fair pricing and the flexibility to accommodate different schedules. They understand that every student has unique needs and work hard to create a learning environment that is both efficient and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a professional, supportive, and well-organized flight school, look no further than One Source Aviation. Their team is truly dedicated to helping students succeed, and I’m grateful to have trained with them! A TMarch 22, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son started at One Source when he was 16 years old. As parents, Trust with our child is mandatory. We trust everyone at One Source and our son loves it there. It has been exciting and adventurous to watch our son learn and grow into a successful pilot. The owners and the instructors truly care about each and every student. I would 100% recommend One Source Aviation to anyone. Jeffrey FranklinFebruary 15, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went on a flight with Jake Benton. It was smooth, comfortable and very enjoyable! Jake was knowledgeable, confident and fun to be with. I can’t wait to go again with Jake! Karen BoardmanJanuary 14, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It’s truly been a privilege to be at One Source Aviation, and I can honestly say it has been an unforgettable experience and I’m just getting started. From the moment I walked through the doors, the staff made me feel welcome and supported, and their passion for aviation was evident in everything they did. My instructor Jake has been nothing short of extraordinary. From his patience, knowledge, and incredibly encouraging attitude. He went above and beyond to ensure that each lesson was not only educational but also enjoyable. He took the time to tailor each training session to my learning style, which made all the difference in my progression. The facilities and aircraft were top-notch, providing a safe and comfortable environment to learn. The school also offers a variety of aircraft to train on. What truly stood out, however, was the sense of FAMILY at One Source. Everyone I’ve met there from Peter to Alex to Aiden and my instructor Jake, was friendly and eager to help. It felt like being part of a family more than a school, and that support made all the difference during my time here so far. Thanks to these guys, I’ve not only gained the skills and confidence needed to be a successful pilot but also developed a deeper love for aviation than the one I’ve already had. If you're considering flight school, look no further. I can't recommend them enough Andrew NelsonJanuary 14, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Best school in van nuys, amazing staff, super friendly, very knowledgeable. Great planes in outstanding condition!!!!! Isaac G. Mendoza PepeNovember 7, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. “Wow! An experience I didn’t even know I needed but am so grateful to have had. ONE Source Aviation went above and beyond to make my first discovery flight unforgettable. From the moment I walked in, I felt warmly welcomed by their team. The atmosphere was both professional and comfortable, setting the tone for an amazing experience. Aidan, my instructor, was phenomenal! He has an incredible talent for breaking down complex aviation concepts in a way that’s easy for a first-timer to understand, and his calm, confident demeanor made me feel right at home in the cockpit. When the time came for me to take the controls, I felt fully supported and safe, knowing Aidan was right there to guide me. The highlight? Flying over Downtown LA was beyond words! It felt surreal, like living a dream I never realized I had. Honestly, I thought learning to fly might be overwhelming, but ONE Source Aviation completely changed my perspective. They make the skies feel accessible to anyone and left me feeling inspired and exhilarated. If you’ve ever dreamed of flying or are even just curious, I can’t recommend them enough!” Shiree NelsonOctober 25, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
