Whiteman Airport has proven to be an excellent choice for flight training. At Whiteman there is no waiting on the taxiway to take off, saving you money. Van Nuys Airport, the busiest general aviation airport in the country, has become a corporate jet center. This has made Whiteman more attractive to pilots learning to fly. Students can receive the experience of busy airspace, without having to begin their training in it. From Whiteman there are dozens of airports to fly to in under an hour, making your training experience diversified and interesting. You can choose your own schedule, train full or part time, and continue to rent our aircraft once you have earned your license. Whiteman is the smaller airport with BIG opportunities.
