About
ABOUT US Chennault Flying Service (CFS) is a veteran owned and operated, full service, flight training company founded in 2015. In January 2021, we purchased Elite Aviation VGT, LLC, an FAA approved part 141 school. The highly successful CFS and Elite Aviation VGT were merged into one school operating under Elite Aviation VGT Air Agency certificate to provide the best aviation training program possible for our customers. With the addition of Elite Aviation VGT, we can offer VA University and vocational training programs. In addition, with our association with Liberty University, our students are able to obtain a Bachelors degree in Aviation in as little as 2 years. This enables our graduates to meet the lower restricted ATP requirements of 1000 hours, saving 500 hours, and getting to the airlines faster (14CFR61.160). Further, either through Liberty University's Title 4 Student Aid and loans, or through private financing, our student have the resources available to achieve their dreams without the burden of the financial difficulties. We offer private, commercial, instrument, ATP, and instructor pilot training in both twin and single engine aircraft with a focus on quality of flight instruction versus quantity. Additionally, we specialize in quality military transition to civilian aviation employment.
