BARBERS POINT FLIGHT SCHOOL Barbers Point Flight School (BPFS) is a professional, full-service flight school offering flight training to pilot candidates seeking career paths as pilots in the aviation industry. It’s Oahu’s premier flight school and FBO services. BPFS prides itself at being our best using state-of-the-art aircraft and equipment and highly experienced flight instructors and Line Service Personnel. Training emphasis is placed on individual vocational guidance, regulatory requirements and safety. They administer quality training and provide professional experience to pilots seeking FAA certification and licensing. BPFS is conveniently located just outside of Honolulu International (HNL) airspace at the John Rodgers Field (JRF) in Kalaeloa (previously the Barbers Point Naval Air Station). The airspace is less congested than at Honolulu and offers private pilot candidates a less apprehensive environment to train in. Fly more and pay less!

This provides a more cost-effective environment to train; you spend more of your time in the air than on the ground waiting to depart. Furthermore, the amount of time it takes to enter designated training airspace is also much lower. All aircraft are new and equipped with Next Generation cockpits that can be replicated in our full-motion flight simulator. It’s the ultimate classroom! As former students, we realize the financial investment necessary for a career path like this. BPFS rates are better than competitive and you’ll get a real bang for your
