I'm really grateful to be partnered up with my CFI Mike Cahill who was very helpful, professional, patient with me. Anytime I needed help or had a question, he was there for me whether he was working or on his day off. Personally, I felt like he went the extra mile for me to ensure I was successful passing my checkride and is a great representation of the excellence this flight school has to offer. All the staff I encountered with at this flight school were always friendly and helpful. The folks at dispatch are always welcoming, the other CFI's who helped me out with stagechecks and mocks were very helpful, and even the mechanics from Heck Air were friendly and helpful. Not once did I ever have any scheduling conflicts or cancellations. It helped that the school has a big fleet of aircraft that were always well maintained. Throughout my training, not once was I under the impression that this flight school, nor their staff were just trying to make a quick buck. They truly care about all their students and want to ensure they have all the tools necessary to be safe and successful pilots/renters. Thank you Melbourne Flight Training for making a huge aviation enthusiasts dream come true of becoming a pilot!

Took me 8 months to get my PPL and $40k, finally leaving May 2023. Both long time employees and students were leaving and the Delta Propel program only exacerbated the problems there. Every student was complaining and felt trapped in contracts tied to loans that Skyborne controlled and allocated funds for inaccurately. I boldly called out leadership for their lack of care for students and was met with belligerence and disregard. The maintenance and housekeeping crew were kind, hard working, the planes were well kept and fueled but sadly, the negative culture there is killing this once legendary organization when owned by Flight Safety Academy. Do not trust what you see on fancy websites and social media. Dig into the contract, read the fine print and speak to students living there on campus. Most importantly... have a Plan B, you're going to need it to make your dream of being a pilot come true. Good luck Aviator... I'll see ya in the skies. (I wrote a detailed blog post about my experience including contracts and details.)

I have to say that this is without a doubt the best organization I have ever flown with. The equipment (airplanes) are top notch and in great shape. The Bristell Light Sport Aircraft flown by this place are far superior to anything I have flown in the past. I have, over the years, had some really bad experiences with flight schools, just check my previous reviews. These instructors are exceptional (in a good way). They are very professional and thorough. I have been very impressed Their rates are very fair, which is great for students just starting out. They have put together some great programs and although flying professionally is not my thing, the the people wanting to become a commercial pilot, this would be the way I would go. I will be flying with them a lot over the next few months and see if I can go all the way through both my instrument and CFI ratings. If you want to learn to fly, this is the place to do it!

I started my Private Pilot Certificate at Embry-Riddle but…read moreeventually switched to Epic Flight Academy to finish after hearing such positive remarks from different friends and pilots. I was able to easily maintain my college courses at Riddle while flying with Epic, so flexibility is possible. From dispatch and maintenance staff to Instructors and Team Leaders, every Epic employee exceeded my expectations in terms of a family friendly learning environment. The C-172S aircraft were all in excellent condition, equipped with G1000. The Epic ramp area is well maintained along with KEVB in its entirety, and you simply can't beat its beautiful location in terms of its Class D airspace. However, as a student veteran, I would have liked to see Epic Flight Academy accept VA benefits to allow student veterans to gain assistance in finishing the remaining flight ratings at Epic, but they do not at the moment. Overall, I would highly recommend Epic Flight Academy for obtaining your Private Pilot Certificate, or any other certificate or rating you wish to pursue.

If you plan on attending the aircraft maintenance school, DONT. This place should be renamed "Scam…read moreFlight Academy" because the quality of education is trash. Some of the instructors dont know whats going on and the others are just mindlessly droning on through powerpoint slide shows. I didnt want to pay 47,000$ to be bored to death, I paid for a quality education and quality instructors, which is what was advertised. ive been here for 5 months and all ive learned is that a place like this rips away your motivation to get into the aviation industry. Dont get me started on the housing department either. The same people that own epic own the apartments they use for student housing, one half is non students and the other half are students. The non students (for a two bedroom apartment NOT beachside and NOT in a good spot) pay 1600$ a month, so why is it that the students pay 3200$ a month for the exact same apartment split 4 ways. They cram 4 people in a 2 bedroom apartment and charge the students double. It doesn't take a genius to notice that this is a cash grab/scam. Fuck this place and fuck getting scammed. All the good reviews are for the flight school, for the pilots, anyone can fly a plane but how many people can fix them? Take care of your students and stop scamming them.
