Find our flight school at Venice Municipal.
Our flight school sits right on the field at Venice Municipal Airport (KVNC) on Florida's Gulf Coast, at 224 Airport Ave E in Venice. The Gulf sits to the north and the Intracoastal to the east, so you'll spend most of your training with water off one wing or the other. It's a short drive from Venice, Sarasota, North Port, Englewood, or Nokomis, with parking right by the hangar.
- From US-41 (Tamiami Trail) in Venice, head toward the airport and follow the signs to Airport Avenue East.
- Once you're on the field, look for the Skyport Aviation area. Our hangar is where we keep the training airplanes, and the coffee is usually on.
- Coming from Sarasota, North Port, Englewood, or Nokomis, the airport is a short, easy drive. Use the map link for turn-by-turn directions from wherever you're starting.
If you've never spent time around a small general aviation airport, the FAA has a plain rundown of what learning to fly involves before you come out.
If it's your first time out, give yourself a few extra minutes to park and find the hangar. Bring sunglasses and comfortable shoes if you have them. We handle the headsets, the walkaround, and everything else. There's no dress code and no pressure, just a close look at the airplanes and an honest conversation about what flight training in Venice, FL actually involves.

Flight training in Venice, FL: quick answers.
The questions we hear most when someone first reaches out. If yours isn't here, call (941) 375-9727 and we'll answer it on the spot.
How do I book a discovery flight?
Call (941) 375-9727 to book a $199 discovery flight. It runs about ninety minutes total: a short briefing, thirty minutes on the controls over the Gulf Coast, and a debrief with your first logbook entry, written by a CFI. No prior experience is needed. You can also send a message with the form above and we'll call you back to set a time. See the full discovery flight details first if you like.
Do I need any experience to start flight training?
No. Most students at our Venice flight school begin having never touched the controls of an airplane. After the discovery flight you move into the path that fits your goal, whether that's Sport Pilot, a Private Pilot License, or a career track. Browse the flight training programs to see how each rating builds on the one before it.
Do you sell gift certificates?
Yes. A discovery flight gift certificate makes a memorable birthday, graduation, or holiday gift. Call (941) 375-9727 to buy one, and we'll mail or email the certificate with redemption details so the recipient can book their own flight when they're ready.
What are your office hours, and can I just stop by the hangar?
Office hours are Monday through Friday, 9 to 5, with weekend lessons by appointment. Walk-ins are welcome at the hangar at 224 Airport Ave E, Venice Municipal Airport (KVNC). A quick call ahead means we'll have someone at the airplane when you arrive, instead of out flying with a student.
Which areas do you serve?
