Buffalo School of Aviation
Prior Aviation Flight School is Buffalo’s only FAR Part 141 Flight School. We offer instruction in Private Pilot, Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot, Certified Flight Instructor and Instrument Flight Instructor ratings.
All training is completed from our modern facilities located on the Buffalo Niagara International Airport (KBUF) Class “C” airspace. The close proximity of our classrooms to all runways allow us to depart quickly, minimizing ground delays and maximizing valuable flight time. Students learn early on how to communicate with all air traffic controllers from clearance delivery specialists to departure control. Our friendly local controllers make learning easy in this busy airport environment.
