Our Flight School
We are located at the historic Santa Paula Airport (SZP) in Santa Paula, California.
CP Aviation is renowned the world over for its friendly atmosphere and quality instruction.
In February 2005, we added a second flight school location at nearby Oxnard airport,
after the runway at Santa Paula was destroyed by flooding caused by winter storms.
We operated two flight schools, one in Santa Paula and one in Oxnard, for over two years.
With the completion of repairs to the runway at Santa Paula, we recently closed our Oxnard location,
moving all of our instructors, aircraft and staff back home to Santa Paula. One of the advantages
of flight training at Santa Paula is our clear skies, which are seldom troubled for long by the
intrusion of the local marine layer. 2007 marked our twentieth anniversary as CP Aviation, but
A steady stream of student pilots has been passing through our doors since the 1930's!
Our Instructors
Our Flight School has several specially trained pilots, designated as Certified Flight Instructors by the Federal Aviation Administration. They are available throughout the week to fit your training schedule.
Our experienced instructors have a variety of specialized teaching skills, offering primary, instrument, and commercial instruction, training for aspiring flight instructors, tailwheel and aerobatic training seven days a week, from 8 am until dusk.
CP Aviation's instructors have accumulated many thousands of hours of flight experience. They are noted for the sincere and individual attention they give each and every student, from primary training through advanced!

Emergency Maneuver Training (EMT) and Aerobatic Training On any given day, the skies above the fertile Santa Clara Valley, 60 miles northwest of Los Angeles, vibrate with the sounds of airplanes looping, rolling, and spinning through the California sunshine. Much of this activity originates from CP Aviation, Inc. Blending in with the historic charm of the airport, CP Aviation's friendly, down-to-earth atmosphere masks the scope of its international reputation for Emergency Maneuver and Aerobatic Training Programs. |
