    Hi is the $299 pricing for two people or each person for the Monterey/Big Sur tour?

Fast forward to 2022, and not flying since 2010, I am working on passing my flight review with him. It's been a long time, but I am so happy to train and get current with such a top notch instructor. His patience, knowledge and focus on safety is unparalleled. I couldn't think of a better instructor to train with, and that is why I reached out to him to become current. I've attached a review my mom made when he was an instructor at Tradewinds Aviation. My mom has since passed due to cancer, but reading her review regarding Cecil brings a smile to my face. Keep up the great work Cecil, you are the best! Thank you for your commitment to your students and the aviation community! You will not find a better instructor!

There were a lot of flight schools in the Bay Area to choose from. However, I promise you that you won't find a better place to train at than South County Aviation. Here are some reasons why: 1. Bailey is a great instructor. He develops personalized instruction that maximizes your flying time. He has adopted different technologies, such as using a GoPro to capture flight training for later review. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. Most importantly, he is a "calm" instructor. There are instructors out there that are ready to take over the controls the moment the student does something goes wrong. This is not Bailey. He uses cues to refocus your attention on what's wrong and how to correct it. He is very professional and easy to communicate which is so crucial when you're shoulder to shoulder with someone for so many hours. I know what we'll be working on in any given session and he gives comprehensive de-briefs that allow me to focus on new skills. Safety is always a prime area of focus of his. 2. The rental rates and instruction rates at SCA are great! There isn't a monthly membership fee unlike other FBOs at San Martin. This means that the business is able to support itself and the economics work without having to charge additional fees. Less fees means more air time for students, which is an important consideration. Also, there is always availability in the schedule for rentals and instruction. You can book without having to wait to find a slot! 3. The equipment at SCA is very well cared for. As of this review, SCA has upgraded N61610 with a brand new avionics panel and leather interiors. In N3912R, they have just refreshed the exterior paint. The dates for each system's required maintenance (transponder, ELT, VOR, annual, etc) are listed on a whiteboard in the hanger so you know that the planes are well cared for and maintained. You can truly feel the pride of ownership. It makes you feel confident knowing how well they care for their equipment. 4. The location of SCA is great. San Martin is a small un-towered field so you're not spending a lot of time waiting on air traffic control or other aircraft. You're only minutes away from the practice area but close to other, larger airspace. 5. This is a small, family run business and it is clear that they are supporting a passion. I've met a lot of the family and they are very friendly and welcoming. It is nice to support a local business that is just starting. I look forward to completing my instrument rating and continuing to rent at SCA!

This is a small flight school meaning you get treated like royalty and they don't nickel and dime you. Bailey knows his stuff and what's better is that he knows what's important and what's not so important so you don't get bogged down with useless information. Many flight instructors will give you the impression that landings, takeoffs, and various other flight techniques are like following a recipe from a cookbook -- follow the steps, don't deviate, and you'll generally be fine. Bailey will help you understand how to assess each situation and understand airplane dynamics so you can adjust your procedure to give the best possible outcome. I absolutely learned new things in the time I spent with Bailey and those are tips that I will take with me for the rest of my flying years. This is no nonsese flight instruction and I couldn't recommend it more.

From our very first flight it was obvious that Taylor was knowledgeable, safety-focused and extremely patient. Just as importantly for long training days in the cockpit, he has a great sense of humor and creates a relaxed learning environment that helps reduce stress and build confidence. One thing Taylor did exceptionally well was progressively increasing the difficulty throughout training. He started with solid fundamentals and continuously pushed me just beyond my comfort zone in productive ways. By the time I reached my checkride, the actual exam felt straightforward because our final training sessions were more demanding than what the DPE required. That preparation made a huge difference. Taylor was also very flexible with scheduling and willing to train in my own aircraft, which helped me develop a much deeper understanding of my airplane beyond just what was required for IFR procedures. For students without an aircraft, he also has one available for rent. Taylor's training approach combines practical in-flight instruction with independent ground study, which I found extremely effective. He also organizes study sessions with other students for quiz prep and more advanced concepts, which added a lot of value. Thank you, Taylor! It was a joy training with you!

    I just received my private pilot certificate and did all my training with Lamascus Flight Training…read more Taylor is a great instructor with lots of patience and nerves of steel. He lets you learn by making mistakes, but doesn't let you do anything un-safe. I also like how he builds a community with his students, past and present.

Who would think that such a small community will have such a great airport? The runway sits next to freeway so you might drive alongside planes that are landing or taking off, a splendid view. Besides the great runway there is a flying club, Magnum Aviation, a place that always welcomes you and offers you a chill place in a hot summer day. If you want to start flying, this a good place, with several instructors and we'll maintained planes. Either driving or flying there will be a pleasant experience.

    As an independent flight instructor I used the aircraft from Magnum for my student lessons. It was…read morequite a loss to the field (and the independent flight instructors, like myself) that Magnum opted not to renew their lease with the county when it was due to expire at the end of 2020. After it closed near the middle of December 2020 a unique FBO passed. It was an FBO without membership or enrollment fees (so the student could spend their money all towards their training) and where the instructors were independent CFI's and not staff. To it's credit, Magnum would only take a cut of the rental of the aircraft from the leaseback owner and the independent CFI's kept their entire fee (paid directly to them by the flight student). Most of the time with staff flight instructors, the FBO takes a pretty sizeable cut of the fee that is charged for the flight instructor and paid by the student. What this would mean, of course, is that the student would be paying more per hour for the instructor's time. None of that at Magnum. A truly unique training resource has been lost - you won't find another like Magnum was. I still instruct out of San Martin Airport (I've been a Full-Time FAA Gold Seal Flight Instructor for nearly 15 years now and have given over 7,000 hours of instruction in that time), but Magnum Aviation was a very valuable and unique resource to leave our field, permanently and it will be greatly missed.

Understand that less than 20% of students actually achieve their PPL. The challenges are cost, availability of instructors and planes, weather, instructor objectives, personal availability, and other minor obstacles. Instruction quality can be both lacking or superior depending on who is teaching. If your goal is to get your PPL quickly, a flight school is a bad choice. Do some research before you decide. I didn't and I've spent over 4 years, $90K, and have had 5 instructors in pursuit of my PPL. If you're not in a rush and are just curious, it will work for you. It isn't easy and requires commitment. Get some guidance and explore the alternatives. Instructors have to complete your training and sign you off for your check ride. If they leave for better opportunities, you have to start over. At $300 and hour for rental and instructor cost, it gets expensive fast.
