Who We Are
What do we offer?
At Jaybird Flight, we provide a streamlined, high-performance alternative to traditional aircraft rental. Our model is built specifically for the mission-driven pilot who values tech-forward equipment, transparent costs, and guaranteed availability.
We believe proficiency is a lifestyle, not a checkbox. That is why every flight membership includes a dedicated monthly allotment at the Jaybird Sim Center. Here members have access to FAA-certified flight simulators to practice emergency procedures, IFR approaches, and maneuvers in a risk-free environment before you ever prime the engine.
Jaybird Flight offers fixed monthly membership rates so you can say goodbye to the pay-by-the-hour cycle and hidden fuel surcharges. With 3.5 hours executive time blocks, our calendar is designed around the pilot, offering four daytime sessions with a 30 minute handover for a professional and unhurried experience.
Lastly, we provide all members with access to a pilot lounge right at Falcon Field giving a dedicated community space to study, debrief, and network with other like minded individuals.
If you have suggestions or ideas on how we can improve, please contact us through our website. Your feedback drives our innovation.

What Can Be Logged?
Beyond the Logbook
While the FAA regulations define specific caps on hours that can be logged toward a certificate or rating, the value of simulation training extends far beyond the logbook. Jaybird Sim Center provides a ‘safe-to-fail’ environment where you can master complex maneuvers, emergency procedures, and cockpit flows without the pressure of a ticking Hobbs meter.
Use your solo hours to build deep muscle memory and situational awareness, then bring a CFI to officially log the hours required for your next checkride. Whether you are maximizing your Part61/141 allowances or simply refining your general airmanship, our simulators ensure that every hour you spend in the air is used for execution, not just explanation.
Location
Jaybird Flight is strategically located at Falcon Field (KFFZ) in Mesa, AZ, at 2550 N Thunderbird Cir. The aircraft is hangared year round to protect the plane and provide a premier experience for our members. Our hangar also adjoins Jaybird Sim Center where members can easily use their allotted simulator time and pilot lounge. Maximize your progress by training before or after flight lessons, accelerating your learning curve and reducing overall training costs. Elevate your piloting proficiency efficiently—no excuses, just results.
The choice is simple. Save thousands of dollars by subscribing today and become the pilot you have always wanted to be.
