About Great Basin Aviation
At Great Basin Aviation we offer Northern Nevada’s largest and most modern fleet of rental aircraft (including: model year 2007+ Cessna Aircraft with digital Garmin glass cockpits and autopilot); Northern Nevada’s only Cessna Pilot Center, most experienced full-time flight instructors, and an instructional path from student pilot to CFI/CFII. Schedule an appointment with us so we can sit down with you and go over all of your flight training questions.
Flight Training at the Great Basin Aviation and the Reno-Tahoe Airport (KRNO) has many advantages. RNO is located in Class “C” Airspace; where airliners bring more than 12,000 people to our fair city each day. You will learn to fly alongside pilots operating fixed and rotor wing aircraft; from single engine general aviation planes to multi-engine jet airliners. Our FAA Air Traffic Controllers are courteous and professional. They welcome student pilot visits to our modern Control Tower and will help guide you through the air traffic control system. They and you will want to know who is on the other side of your “push-to-talk” switch. You will also learn all the skills needed to safely fly in uncontrolled airspace, with controlled airspace just a few miles north for practice. Within close proximity of many small airports and a short hop from Lake Tahoe, training from Carson offers scenery that is characteristic of the Tahoe area as well as an exciting experience flying between small airports.
We encourage you to remember that, when considering a flight school, seek value. Value is determined based on price plus quality. The overall price of your flight training should be competitive. However, you must also factor-in the quality of your flight training. In other words, you need to feel confident that you will receive your flight training from experienced, professional Certified Flight Instructors who incorporate state-of-the-art equipment (aircraft & training tools) and best instructional practices to provide a safe, comfortable and productive learning environment. We look forward to earning your business and the opportunity to facilitate your dream of learning to fly.
