Our Story

Parrillo Air Services was founded on a simple belief: learning to fly should be personal. Too many aspiring pilots get lost in large classrooms and crowded schedules — we built something different.

Based at Lynchburg Regional Airport (KLYH), we offer FAA Part 61 flight training with a deliberately limited enrollment so every student gets real access to instructors and aircraft. That means more time in the air, faster progress, and instruction tailored to how you actually learn.

From your very first Discovery Flight to advanced ratings and the airline career path, our instructors bring years of general and corporate aviation experience to every lesson. We break complex aviation concepts into simple, digestible steps — building safe habits and confident pilots who always know their next step.
