Lipson Aviation is the best experience I’ve ever had with a flight school. They’re extremely customer focused and take exceptional care of their aircraft. You simply can’t beat the scenery and variety you get out in So Cal. Their HQ is immaculate and welcoming. Their attitude is positive and friendly. You don’t have to settle for sketchy and rude flight ops. Talk to Ben at Lipson Aviation.

Lipson Aviation is hands down the place to go in SoCal for high-quality, premium flight training, aircraft management and sales. I’ve done Cirrus SR22T training here, got my MEI in the Beech Duchess in 2025, and even had the chance to get some jet training in the Citation Mustang with Ben Lipson himself. I now do some contract flying for him as well.

What really stands out is how much pride they take in their airplanes and operations. The aircraft are super well maintained, every little issue gets taken care of right away, and they’re kept clean and looking sharp every day. Whether it’s a flight school plane or a managed aircraft, the level of care is the same.

Ben’s experience shows—he’s logged over 10,000 hours and even did time at the airlines. His attention to detail and focus on safety make training here feel professional but also really approachable as he’s been a flight instructor for about 15 years or so. The business keeps growing quickly, and they’re adding more brand-new SR20 G7s to the fleet in addition to their G6 SR20 and their Beechcraft Duchess.

If you’re serious about learning to fly, transitioning into a multi or a jet, or even having an airplane managed, I can’t recommend Lipson Aviation enough!

came all the way from Texas to attend Lipson Aviation.

After having talked to dozens of schools about getting my multi-engine add-on and having numerous maintenance issues with their aircraft and delays I got fed up. I heard about Lipson Aviation so I gave them a call. Right away the owner Ben and the lead MEI, Carson started working on getting me a checkride date and planning out my training on the schedule.

To my delight, after arriving at the airport I realized the flight school was very well organized and professional. The airport itself was amazing to train out of with experienced and patient controllers as well as beautiful views of the mountains I had never experienced flying next to before.

Lipson Aviaiton’s multi-engine maneuvers and aerodynamics guides they supplied me with ensured I was prepared to learn before I even walked through the door. The Beechcraft Duchess they have was very easy to train in and straightforward, it was an excellent multi-engine trainer with an amazing Aspen PFD. I had previously flown in a Piper Seneca and comparing that to the Duchess was night and day.

Carson prepared me very well for both the oral and practical portion of the checkride, he is very experienced, professional, and very fun to train with. What I appreciated was if you didn’t need any more training, they wouldn’t push to make you fly more, Lipson had my best interests in mind throughout the whole training.

Despite the day of my checkride having bad weather, Ben and Carson worked tirelessly to get me another checkride date only 2 days later. The examiner is fun and fair and clearly enjoys working with Lipson Aviation giving checkrides. I enjoyed it!

Lipson Aviation did what the other flight schools couldn’t, and I can not recommend it more.

I’m a Flight Instructor and wanted to add my commercial/instrument multi engine rating. Ben, the owner, is a total stand-up guy and my ME instructor Carson was awesome. They fully accommodated my needs and the fast timeline in which I wanted to get this done. Never once did I feel like training was being stretched or time wasted. After I initially called, they secured a DPE after my first lesson and we had a day set and everything went smooth and as discussed. The prices are beyond fair and this school has an absolute great vibe to it. The Duchess is very well maintained with upgraded avionics and flew fantastic. The engine-out maneuvers were especially fun!!

I know pretty much every flight school in SoCal and for this rating I wanted to go somewhere I had never been and support a non-chain school and I can highly recommend training here. I drove all the way from Studio City and would do it again. The airport itself is also very easily accessible and made the training super easy fun. Can highly recommend LIPSON AVIATION. Great culture here!!!!

I passed the Multi engine commercial with the help of Lipson aviation! Really recommend this flight school to anyone who wants to reach their pilot certificates in a timely manner, clean and organized space! The job Ben and flight instructors do is amazing, very clean place, snack available, aircraft well maintained, studying areas available! And now with AC inside of the airplanes!!! As good as it gets

Completed my Commercial Multi-Engine add-on with Lipson Aviation and had an amazing experience. The aircraft was super well-maintained, and my instructors, Carson and Matt, were knowledgeable and professional. Training was so structured that the checkride felt easy. Being on a first-name basis with the owner made it all the more personal. They also do Private,instrument,and Commerical in the Cirrus aircraft! Best flight school experience I’ve had by far. Highly recommend!

5-star experience!

This flight school exceeds my expectations in every way. The facility is immaculate, with comfortable lounge areas, and clean spacious briefing room. The aircraft, Cirrus SR20 is new, very comfortable, and carefully maintained, with all maintenance done on schedule, and excitingly, a brand new one is on its way!

Ben, the owner, was particularly helpful in planning my route, doing so with professionalism that really stood out.

Instructor, Matt, was very welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable, and supportive, making the learning process enjoyable and stress-free. The training program was comprehensive and well-structured. I’m excited to finish my training and can’t wait to get my PPL!

I can’t say enough good things about Lipson Aviation From start to finish, my multi-engine training here from helicopter to fixed wing has been nothing short of outstanding.

The owner, Ben Lipson, runs the school with a level of professionalism and care that you don’t find everywhere. He’s built an operation that is not only well-organized and safety-focused, but also welcoming and encouraging for every pilot who walks through the door. You can tell he takes real pride in the quality of training his students receive.

My multi-engine instruction with Carson Speegle was phenomenal. Carson is an exceptional instructor patient, knowledgeable, and passionate about teaching. He explains complex systems and maneuvers in a way that makes them clear and easy to understand, and in the airplane he brings a calm, confident presence that really builds your own confidence as a pilot. Every lesson felt tailored to my progress, and I walked away each day feeling like I had grown tremendously in both skill and judgment.

If you’re serious about advancing your aviation career or just want the very best multi-engine training, Lipson is the place to be. Ben and Carson go above and beyond to make sure their students succeed, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for quality flight training.

I researched several flight schools before ultimately deciding to go with Lipson Aviation. After training with them for the past month to receive my private pilot certification, the overall experience so far has been fantastic.

What initially set Lipson apart were the pristine facilities within Brackett Field Airport. The training center is clean, well-organized, and creates a productive environment which is essential for both ground instruction & flight preparation.

A major draw for me was their offering of Cirrus Aircraft in their fleet, which I’ve found to be few & far between when it comes to flight schools in SoCal. The Cirrus’, along with the rest of the fleet, are always well-maintained, reliable, and offer a high level of safety and performance.

The best part of my experience so far has been the one-on-one instruction. The instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and truly invested in making sure you understand each concept. The training pace is also flexible to your needs, which was a key factor in my decision.

Overall, Lipson Aviation has provided a supportive, student-centered experience. If you’re looking for a professional training environment with modern aircraft and top tier instruction, I highly recommend Lipson Aviation Flight Training Center. They’re a standout choice among flight schools in Southern California.
