Student Success
Milestones Earned at BVFS
Nine out of ten BVFS students pass their FAA checkride — well above the national average of roughly 75%.
That gap is no accident. BVFS students train one-on-one with instructors who stay with them from first flight to checkride, on a flexible Part 61 program paced to real life — and our training team is led by a former FAA Designated Pilot Examiner, so you meet your examiner only when you are truly ready.

Minutes From Campus
Proud to Fly With Aggies
