Elite Aviation

Chennault Flying Service operates this flight training academy under the Elite Aviation VGT Air Agency certificate. The school is veteran owned and operated. It has provided full service pilot training since 2015 at North Las Vegas Airport. In January 2021, the company acquired Elite Aviation VGT and merged the two schools into one academy under the existing air agency certificate.

The school offers FAA Part 141 and Part 61 flight training programs. Students can train for Private Pilot, Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot, Multi Engine, Flight Instructor, and Airline Transport Pilot ratings. The Accelerated Career Pilot Program guides students from no prior flight experience to professional airline pilot qualifications on a structured full time schedule.

Veteran students can use VA education benefits for approved Part 141 flight training. The school partners with Liberty University to offer an online Bachelor's Degree in Aviation. Students in this program can qualify for the Restricted ATP certificate at 1,000 flight hours, which is 500 hours fewer than the standard requirement.

The training fleet includes more than 20 Diamond and Cessna aircraft equipped with glass cockpit avionics. Specific aircraft include the Diamond DA20, DA40, and DA42, along with the Cessna 172 Redhawk. The school maintains an on site maintenance team that works seven days a week to keep aircraft available for lessons.

It is the only Part 141 flight school based in Las Vegas. The school reports first time pass rates above 80 percent for all Part 141 courses, with several courses achieving pass rates above 90 percent. The school also holds self examining authority for certain ratings, allowing students to complete practical tests internally.

The school serves a wide range of students. These include career pilots, military veterans, helicopter pilots transitioning to airplanes, and recreational flyers. Beginners can book a discovery flight to meet instructors and experience flight training before enrolling in a full course.
