There’s a reason TransPac Aviation Academy is based in the Valley of the Sun, Phoenix, Arizona. With an average annual high of 87°F, an average annual low of 61°F and an average annual precipitation of .69 inches, it is always a good day to fly.
Look forward to experiencing the captivating views of Arizona’s rolling mountains, the spectacular saguaro forests of the Sonoran Desert,
the vibrant beauty of Sedona’s red-rock buttes and the sun-drenched valley. From the training cockpit, the views will astound you.
Beyond sunny days and cool nights, Phoenix offers a rich array of culture, entertainment and nearby travel opportunities. The Phoenix-metro
area is home to 27 museums, seven art galleries, six cultural attractions, and 15 performing arts venues. The mountain ranges that surround
the city reveal ancient petroglyphs and the occasional artifact from the city’s original native inhabitants.
Phoenix also boasts premier shopping and entertainment venues and as the United States’ fifth largest city, it is also home to four professional sports teams.
The Valley of the Sun is ideally located for day or weekend trips to the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley and the red-rocks of Sedona or one of the
other 50 national historical sites or landscapes in Arizona. Snow bunnies can drive 2 ½ hours to Flagstaff for skiing or might head to
Los Angeles or San Diego for sincere weekend beach time. The lights of the Las Vegas strip come into focus about 5 hours after leaving the
Valley by car – even less by air.
