Great place to become a pilot. I’ve earned my PPL, my instrument rating, and I’m currently finishing up my commercial license. All the instructors are very personable and I would highly recommend for anyone looking to fly!

Great place overall for Aviation. First class operation with knowledgeable staff. CFI’s that want to invest into you and see you succeed. Recommend to anyone wanting to begin or continue their journey.

Fantastic! I was purchasing my very first plane and had zero experience. Michael worked with us as a go-between for the Inspections and helped us with documentation for the extensive process to secure our funding. I wouldn't have been able to close without him. He and his manager helped steer us throughout. I appreciated his honesty and frankness on the planes. He was with us every single step of the way, proactively checking in and reaching out on our behalf to the various entities. This was such a harrowing experience made so much easier by Michael that I will absolutely work through them again.

Spoke with Lisa V. Wonderful person who won't respond with "I don't know", she will find the answer for you and even volunteer more information. Very honest about what it takes to complete the course, the price, and time. Felt like I was being set-up for success instead of what I've experienced in my research of other schools, where it seems they want to get you to "come in" like a car dealership. If I decide to do this, it will be here, and because Lisa V.

Wasn't able to finish my schooling here because my instructor left mid semester and the school never returned my multiple phone calls to get a replacement instructor. I'm sure they were short staffed but I felt that they really let me down. They actually ended up calling me 3 years later to tell me that they could finally get me an instructor. I had moved on with life at this point... This is a really good flight school though Instructors and staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. And they have a very nice fleet.
