Caution - flight school is focused on training foreign students on a commercial track. I believe the company is foreign owned.

I just completed my private pilot license here and I can't praise this school enough. The people running it are truly top notch, as is the organization of the school, the instruction received from the Flight instructors and the airplanes themselves. They feature newer Cessnas 172's with G1000's, unlike many schools. Do yourself the favor of learning here. You won't regret it.

My 14 year old son wanted to take flying lessons and get his license. I called 5 schools between the desert and Malibu where we live. Not one flight school took us seriously EXCEPT So Cal Pilot Center. He has been a half dozen times since and both my wife and I have been beyond impressed with how professional and encouraging the instructor has been. Having been to 3 other flight schools as well in person I can tell you the professionalism, equipment and cleanliness of this school is in matched. This place is run with the upmost care. The staff is overly communicative. I have no reservations recommending them. They also allow us as parents to fly with our son when he goes up. Seriously if your trying to decide where to put your dollars it’s here.

Wonderful experience using SoCal Pilot Center as a PSI testing location for FAA Knowledge Tests. They responded promptly to my inquiries about availability, and were able to work with PSI to get me signed up for two tests within the same week (Instrument and Commercial). The testing environment was clean and quiet, and the check-in/proctor process was efficient. The staff were great people and very friendly. While I only took the exams there (I live out of the area and was just visiting family nearby), I saw students working with instructors on very sophisticated simulators, and their hangared C172 looked like a great trainer.

After calling around the Coachella Valley looking for someone to do my BVFR. (Flight Review) Anyway I found a few ok options, but while doing that I went online to add a rating to my licence and found this place. Ahhh, a professional running a flight school with real nice airplanes and several top end simulators. This is the place to go for anyone getting or adding to their Pilots licence. What a superb find

Best thing I’ve ever done for myself and never expected I’d love it as much as I do. I need to learn to fly primarily for functional reasons. I didn’t expect I’d end up loving the act of flying itself. Great fun and enjoyable training (and I’ve been in “school” more than most).

SoCal Pilot Center is owned and operated by Kay and Leen Vereeken—true aviation citizens of the world. They have brought their passion for aviation and helping people achieve their aviation goals to the Palm Springs area. As a Cessna Pilot Center they use the best aviation learning system available. Pilots who want to learn from the best, in a fun, rewarding environment in the Palm Springs area, couldn’t do better than SoCal Pilot Center. We are proud to know them.

If you want to learn to fly in Palm Springs area, this is the best flight school to do it. Kay is super nice and very knowledgeable instructor. I can't think of a better person to teach me how to fly. They have a very nice office/training center in Thermal, near La Quinta. Best flight ever in a state of the art Cessna 172 with the desert view. Unforgettable...
