    My husband surprised me with a Discovery Flight experience and It was an Incredible! I was…read moreexpecting to first have a classroom lesson but nope, instructor Maria Fernanda introduced herself and we boarded the Cessna 172. She explained the controls to me and told me what we were going to do that day and we were off! I must admit I was pretty nervous having two lives as my responsibility but the flight was amazing. We flew over South Beach and back to the airport, it was a short 45 minute experience and so worth it! Now I want to learn more but have yet to receive the email the staff said they would send me with the class information. Much recommended for anyone who is curious about flying and want to try a bit of adrenaline!

    I interviewed the Owner Kareem (New Owner!) He says the old owner died of cancer and took over the…read moreschool. The guy was super nice when I called on a Sunday at 3pm he said sure come over! He was super friendly and smiled alot, showed me his planes that were available for viewing (most were out flying). School is small and is a part #61. If this is what you are looking for I would recommend this school. They also offer an accelerated program at a discount if you pay in advance. Oh, Kareem has a heavy accent, but its not too hard to understand. Best of luck!

We cannot thank them enough for their generosity and hospitality for these divas and friends of the Motivate Me crew!!! Some nerves and apprehension I had intially subsided because of these two giving people and their enthusiasm, and our pilot Diego! Having never been in a plane like that I did not know what to expect, but they took the time to explain everything to us and answer every question we had. I could not get enough, I did not want the experience of flying the friendly skies to end!! We started off by going east over the Atlantic Ocean and then heading west over the Everglades. Wow it looks so amazing up that high. It was a beautiful and very hot day, and clear skies allowed for some once-in-a-lifetime views that we got to experience and capture forever. Diego was such a pleasure and his passion and story of why he flies and loves being a flight instructor was very inspiring. He made an already great experience even better and for that we are so thankful!!! Yelp won't allow videos but head to our site for more videos of the experience we had. Thanks to Christina and Fred for sharing their passion with us for flying and allowing us to have such an amazing opportunity. We are so excited to come back we are eagerly planning the next adventure here as I, for one am HOOKED!!! I wish everyone would step outside their comfort zone and do something like this....and do it here! Nerves has turned into waiting for my next opportunity to get back here to experience this again....see what happens when you say YES! Say YES here!

    Our amazing instructor gave for an amazing flight learning experience!read more

    I'm from Arizona, and I was going to Miami Florida for business and wanted to squeeze in a few…read moredays of flying . After reviewing a lot of options I ended up here . Angelica was absolutely awesome regarding scheduling. My only complaint was the aircraft I ended up in all the paperwork was not readily available . The airplane was completely stripped of all the paperwork to review prior to flight . No SQUAK sheet to look over , nothing . No pre flight fuel rods to check fuel , no step stool , nothing . Maybe I'm spoiled with the aircraft I typically fly . Any way the CFI I went with Devin was great . Unfortunately the only check list available was on his iPad , and it was generic which did not have emergency procedures, etc . I just prefer the factory Cessna stuff because all my training has been by the book . All the checklist are straight forward and complete . Also the Cessna I flew had a tight spot in the aileron which was very uncomfortable to fly .. kind unnerving so after the fact IF the SQUAK sheet was there I would have seen that or been able to note it to be fixed . All in all it was a great experience after going back and reviewing everything that took place it gave me a chance to dive into the FAR/AIM to check if what I experienced was legit , and it was not !! Next time in a situation like that I would not fly that aircraft and I would "politely" ask for all that documentation upfront since it was not readily available .

    Pleasant staff very good pricing for planes and instruction. Would recommend! Also has good…read moresimulator in-house.
