Land and Sea Aviation (LSA), based at Merrill Field (PAMR) in Anchorage, Alaska, is a respected and comprehensive flight training institution uniquely tailored to the demands of flying in the Last Frontier. At the heart of its mission is the delivery of high‑quality, hands‑on flight education under both FAA Part 61 and Part 141 regulations, blending structure and flexibility to suit varied aspiring aviators—from hobbyists seeking scenic flights to career‑oriented students pursuing pilot certificates. Anchored on East 5th Avenue, LSA benefits from being located at a bustling general aviation airport adjacent to Lake Hood Seaplane Base, the world’s busiest float‑plane hub. This strategic position allows students to gain exposure to diverse operations—from tailwheel training to float‑plane techniques—right from the start. The school supports a full spectrum of ratings, including Private Pilot, Instrument, Commercial, Multi‑Engine, Flight Instructor (CFI, CFII, MEI), tailwheel and float (seaplane) endorsements. LSA’s instructor team comprises seasoned aviators with extensive experience in Alaska’s challenging conditions. Reviews from both Google and the Chamber of Commerce frequently praise their professionalism and customer service, with students highlighting enjoyable scenic flights over the Chugach mountains, wildlife sightings, and the spectacular sunset views – “best time I have had in the air… super friendly staff”. On Glassdoor, instructors commend the school’s strong aircraft maintenance program and scheduling flexibility, noting it offers great work‑life balance despite Alaska’s demanding weather. The school’s fleet is robust and well‑maintained, including flight‑training staples such as Cessna 152s, Cessna 172 Skyhawks (including RG), Cessna 207 Stationairs, Piper Arrows, Citabria and Super Decathlons for aerobatics and tailwheel training. This variety supports a full progression of pilot skill development—from basic primary instruction to advanced maneuvering and multi‑engine operations. - **Do NOT use the inquiry feature on this page, as it sends messages to Skyfarer Academy instead of the flight school.
