Accelerated Flight School operates from a single home base — Van Nuys Airport (KVNY), one of the busiest general aviation airports in the United States. Because KVNY sits in the middle of the San Fernando Valley with fast freeway access in every direction, students commute to us from Calabasas and Malibu on the west, Pasadena and Glendale on the east, Santa Clarita and Simi Valley to the north, and the coastal cities and South Bay to the south.
