Sawyer Aviation

Sawyer Aviation is a well known flight school in Arizona which was highly recommended to me by friends and family who attended and have since moved on from their private license to careers in commercial. One friend currently in Kazakhstan and the other flying over Cabo. This school provides ease of access, multiple payment plans, and a career opportunity that can move you out of an office and into the sky. They are also well connected in the valley and provide great recommendations for certification and equipment. Thank you and excited to be with Sawyer!

I am a professional pilot and I was doing some airplane add-on training at Sawyer. I had flown about 15-20 hours and everything was good. At the same time that my instructor left, I also got very busy with work and I didn’t fly at Sawyer for a year. I had $15,000 prepaid on my account when I left. When I called to schedule a flight, Sawyer informed me that my $15,000 had “expired” and that I needed to put more money on account. Sure enough, I looked at MY prepaid account online and they had a $15,000 transaction where they pulled all my money from my account which they did not provide any services for. Needless to say, I won’t be going back, and would not recommend any of my colleagues do transition training here.

A few scheduling issues here for a discovery flight but overall a impressive location. Highly recommend considering them for flight training and visiting their location.

After checking out a few schools, Sawyer is very reasonably priced, honest about the requirements, and has a great facility and aircraft. Jared and Cody are very professional and know their stuff, and the structured instruction is very good, teaching you exactly what you need to know, unlike some other schools that kind of just throw a bunch of information at you and don't explain it very well. They also offer financing, unlike most of the other smaller schools. Very happy with my decision to train at Sawyer. (Also very good about scheduling, they were able to take me up same day when I did my discovery flight when all of the other schools told me they were booked for days or weeks).

Great experience. I was on very short time line and chose Sawyer to knock out my Multi engine rating. The school is is well run, the Aircraft are all in great shape and Carl May is an outstanding Instructor. One of the best I've had the pleasure of flying with.
