Those are the honest industry ranges, not this school’s rate card — this school does not publish one, and almost none do. Ring us and we will get you their actual number, at their price, with nothing added for coming through us.

Where this page comes from

Everything above is assembled from 4 pages of their own website, read in July 2026, and their public Google Maps listing. Nobody here has called Pacific States Aviation, visited them, or flown with them, so there is no opinion of ours on this page and no rating of ours anywhere on it. When we do call a school it gets a ✓ and a summary written by a person — you can see what that looks like on the Arizona pages.

If something here is out of date, it is ours to fix and theirs to correct — tell us and we will change it.

What we do not know about Pacific States Aviation yet

  • What they fly. We found no fleet or aircraft page on their site.
  • Their prices. They do not publish a rate card, and almost no school does.

Every one of those is a phone call, and it is the call we make for free. Tell us what matters to you and we will ask them, then tell you what they said — including if the answer is that you should go somewhere else.

What do the public reviews say?

Google shows a 4.4 rating across 55 reviews (checked July 2026). We show that as plain text rather than dressing it up as our own rating, because we did not collect it and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
