Exceptional flight school. I've rented/flown out of several flight schools up and down the east…read morecoast and this has been my favorite spot. I have found all the instructors to be extremely competent and professional. Also hardworking and willing to go out of their way and adjust schedules to meet their students needs. The aircraft are well maintained and availability hasn't been an issue. They have onsite maintenance if any issues arise which keep the planes flying and students progressing. The school itself is inside a well maintained facility with a fun lounge. Plenty of space to study before or after flights. They also do charter flights and helicopter rides so there's always lots of activity. The SC weather is also good for training with lots of VFR days and lots of good views of the coast. I'd highly recommend this school to anyone looking to start their career or fly for fun

Amazing!!! I just took my first discovery flight and I've never been so full of adrenaline! I had…read moreno idea something could feel so fun and freeing. My flight teacher was so nice, he let me fly almost the entire time-but he was obviously helping me out. I got to do everything but land. That's the hardest part he said. I've done a lot of crazy and adventurous things in my life but this has to be one of the most memorable. They gave me some financing options when I asked and answered all of my 500 questions and never seemed to mind me driving them nuts with all the questions. I'm just a very detailed person and I like to know all the info. No question, I am getting my license! And I'm doing it there. They have a beautiful new building that takes up an entire city block (no joke), packed with cool flight simulators and stuff and it just feels like a big, fun pilot playhouse-yet professional at the same time. I can't really describe the place other than to say FUN! There were a lot of kids (full time airline pilot cadets in training) that looked to be in their early 20's or maybe late teens buzzing around in the learning labs and hallways that made me feel 20 years younger just by the energy in the place. Everybody was talking about airplanes and helicopters and were kind of working together to help one another learn using all the cool 'toys' the school has. I've never been in a learning environment quite like this. So cool! These guys have totally changed the way school is run. If I could go back in time I would've easily chosen this route instead of wasting 7 years in college and post grad. Seriously rethinking my current career in the legal world now! I can't wait to take my son there next weekend.

I am highly disappointed with Brunswick Air and I will never recommend this flight school to…read moreanyone. My story with them started on Jan 23. 2020. During the old Management/Owner. During this time, I took my first flight with 1st CFI which was about 45min, I asked a ton of questions as to who would be my flight instructor, how long it would take and the cost. I was advised that the flight instructor will depend on a few factors, My schedule and compatibility. Great! On my second flight I was introduced to 2nd CFI, an older retired military pilot, we hit it off right away, during our first flight he introduced me to a few maneuvers, Slow flight and S-turns, he then asked if I have ever flown before, I advise just as a passenger. Things went well for the next 5 flights, Then Covid hit, for 3 months the school was closed. On 5/14 /2020 the school opened up and I was called, at that time I was advised the 2nd CFI would not be coming back so they paired me with a Younger CFI, I was concerned about this and because I began with 2nd CFI and already had time and money invested. It was explained to me that my log book will tell the story and not to worry because I would not have to start all over again that the new 3rd CFI will just continue where I left off with the 2nd CFI. I said OK and began working with 3rd CFI. We had flown from 05/14 /2020to 08/24/2021 fly approximately 3 to 4 times a month with some cancellations due to weather, maintenance and other life events. On 08/24/2021 we were scheduled to fly to Conway but I was advised that it would be my last flight with 3rd CFI as he was picked up by an airline which was great for him but my concerns grew once again, because I would have to work with yet another flight instructor. The next three flights were with 4th CFI, which was one of the worst instructors I had encountered in any profession. On the third flight I cut the flight short because he was too cavalier with safety and more concerned about building hours for himself rather than instructing. I had a conversation with him and provided him some feedback and explained that I cannot fly with him. At this point I was going to go elsewhere, the original owner at the time, apologized and got a new instructor and again my concern was time spent on training and money. She introduced me to my current instructor 5th, I was with him a few times and we also hit it off well. Here comes the hammer, the original owners decided to sell and retire, I was again concerned because I had accumulated 49 hours of flight training, 13.72 ground training and spent $10,785. Again, I was told not to worry that my logbook will tell the story and not much will change. Now 60.4hrs flight time, 21.64hrs ground a total of 82.32hrs and $13,720 spent, I was once gain mislead, the new owner has implemented a new process 6 months after he took over and without notice. According to this new process I am only now 30% completed and my instructor stated that unfortunately the time I spent with the school and instructor prior only will count as experience only. I didn't understand, experience comes from flying; I am paying them to teach. This feels to me as once the new owner took over everything prior is a wash. Now I am stuck, this is horrible.

We got the next one up which was $49 called the north tour...however, the prices are a bit deceptive. They add in a "fuel surcharge" for each flight. It was $5 for this flight. Our flight lasted 7 minutes from takeoff to touchdown. It was fun. It was neat to see the beach from the sky so close. But it was also really fast. They try to upcharge you for headsets and getting a photo with your phone on the landing pad under the chopper. It's a bit intimidating if you've never been on a helicopter walking under the rotating blades that are very loud and jarring. Please be aware of this with children. Plus anywhere past the doors is extremely dangerous and deadly due to the rear rotor. Keep ahold of your babies please. The ride is a bit shaky and once you go up you're there until you come back so make sure those bladders are empty!! I think that the long tours that take 45 minutes would be a bit too much. I bet the 15 minute tours would be ideal. They have a 300lbs per person limit which doesn't make sense. My buddy was 11 pounds off the limit. The guy in front of us was 305. His girlfriend went up without him. I probably had 100lbs on her. Their combined weight would have been less than our combined weight so I'm not sure why they wouldn't let him go up. They also act like the pilots work on tips....it's mentioned everywhere including the cockpit. I asked what a good tip was and they said 20%. I guess everyone needs a tip these days...remind me to tip my pharmacist next time I pick up a prescription. All in all I think it's worth a quick ride if you've never been in a chopper.
