About EB Flight Training
A small business built from passion, dedication, and a student-first approach
Our Story
EB Flight Training started with just one instructor, Elijah, and a passion for helping people become pilots. With no airplanes and only a handful of students, the goal was simple: to offer high-quality, personalized instruction that put students first.
What began as Elijah providing one-on-one instruction quickly grew through word of mouth. Students appreciated the personal attention, flexible scheduling, and genuine care for their success. As more people started training with us, our reputation in the Daytona Beach aviation community began to take off.
Over time, we built a fleet of reliable training aircraft and welcomed new instructors, many of whom trained right here at EB Flight. They understand our values because they've lived them: patience, professionalism, and a passion for aviation that goes beyond the lesson.
Today, EB Flight Training has grown from a single instructor into one of the busiest Part 61 flight schools in Daytona Beach. Even as we expand, our foundation hasn't changed. Personalized instruction, flexibility, and a student-first approach remain at the heart of everything we do.
We're proud to be a small business that grew from nothing to what we are now, and we're just getting started.

The Heart of EB Flight Training
The Wonderful Thing About Our Team
It all started with one. Elijah Burgess, the founder and visionary behind EB Flight Training. From day one, he set the tone for what this school would become: a place where every student matters, where training is personalized, and where passion for aviation is the driving force.
Deven Chavez - Operations Manager
Deven is a living example of the EB Flight Training philosophy. He trained with Elijah for all of his certificates and fell in love with the mission. Today, he manages our operations and helps ensure that every student receives the same high-quality, personalized attention that made the school what it is today.
