Fleet, Simulators and Flight Line
The Embry‑Riddle Prescott Flight Department has a commitment to safety, excellence and professionalism that is second to none in the flight training community. The department operates two independent parking and dispatch facilities at the Prescott airport to provide the most efficient and safe flight environment. We have just broken ground on a new state-of-the-art ramp/dispatch operation that will be ready by the summer of 2025!
The Prescott Flight Department boasts a fleet of 80 airplanes. This well-resourced program, in combination with our expert instructors, ensures that every student receives the training they will need to meet the minimums required to gain a certificate and become safe, professional pilots who have a truly positive impact on their industry.
Our thousands of alumni, who fly some of the most advanced commercial and military aircraft today, prove that Embry‑Riddle is the world's leader in flight training.
Fleet Overview
The power behind the success of Embry-Riddle Prescott’s Golden Eagles Flight Team lies in the two Cessna 150s that team members fly during competitive events.

The reliability of the Super Decathlon's 180-horsepower engine and robust construction makes this the ideal aircraft for teaching student pilots how to properly recover from a variety of extreme unusual attitudes, including spins.

Simulators
The C172S G1000 simulator models give our student pilots a real sense of immersion within the training environment. Complete with simulated aircraft traffic, terrain warnings systems, engine/system/avionic failures, weight and balance variants, and advanced 3-axis control loading (with force control feedback), offers students the “real feel” of the aircraft.

Since the Wright brothers and Kitty Hawk, learning to handle low-altitude crosswinds and wind gusts has proven to be one of the most challenging parts of a pilot’s training. Embry-Riddle’s advanced Redbird Xwind SE crosswind training/practice device enables our flight students to safely practice the proper approach and landing procedures for dealing with both steady crosswinds and strong wind gusts.
