It looks like you are supposed to go in the General Aviation terminal at RDU for FBO. However,…read moreSignature is actually located in a small building to the right of the main terminal. You can use the same parking and there are entrances at the front and side of the building, but I am hoping that I can help you from wandering around the main terminal for five minutes. Signature has the amenities you would expect from a FBO, but the lounge is a little small and tired. The general aviation terminal is a bit of a distance from the commercial terminal so be sure to leave time and get your directions right. Although it was under construction while I was there, the general aviation area has a cool observation deck if you have a little extra time to pass while waiting for your party to arrive.

I had a great experience as a student at FlightGest Academy. It's a part 61 school that allowed me…read moreto train at my own pace. I got my PPL, IRA, CSEL, CFI and CFII there. I was always well prepared and passed all my checkrides on the first try. The planes were very well maintained and it was nice having the freedom to choose different airports to fly to. I highly recommend this school if you are looking to become a pilot in North Carolina or if you want to get additional ratings.

Dropped at least $50k with them and had more than 125 hours, many more than normal to solo. Passed my written exam with a lot of self study the first time but could not get them to authorize a solo to proceed nor could I get them to detail the issues as to why not. Seemed a bit of a scam to me because despite possibly hundreds of students, few seemed to be progressing and I very rarely heard of any students doing their solo. Owners are nice but totally hands off and unaware as is clueless chief flight instructor which is just plain bad business. I tried to switch to BlueLine, also at RDU which is more structured but they won't take FlightGest students which says something to pass on business. Choice is very limited but BlueLine may be the better long term choice for beginners.

I started at Blue Line Aviation with my private pilot certificate back in June of 2019. I moved…read moreacross the country from Washington State to attend and do their accelerated professional pilot program. I loved it. The planes, the instructors and the people there make you feel like you're at home. Now, it is a lot of work... There's a reason you can get through your Instrument, Commercial Single and Multi as well as CFI, CFII and MEI. You have you to show up ready to work for it. No one is going to hand you a rating. The CFI course is intense, two weeks from day one to your checkride, but if you do exactly what you're asked to do, you'll do great in your ride. Will I recommend this program for everyone? No. I don't believe it is for everyone. If you're ready to work hard, you're self motivated and ready to get a job flying and making money in less than 6 months, Blue Line is the place for you. If you're considering ATP, you should have an idea what's expected--definitely check out Blue Line. You'll pay less and finish faster.

Trey Walters, along with his second in charge Ron are whats wrong with aviation. These people at…read moreBlue Line are doing bad business. After I was there for a week and an half I opted to leave after talking to Ron about how I was so disappointed and felt unsafe, they then proceeded to take $46,000 of my $100,000 for opportunity cost... I asked why they thought that reason and Trey told me because I decided to leave due to the course being to fast... Which he then made sure no one would talk to me in the company and then took almost a year to get any refund back. lying is one thing and screwing me in the process sure is unacceptable but the real problem being that these folks are creating even worse students and instructors that compromise the integrity of the industry and taking advantage of people in the process is a more important problem and I hope someone stops them.

My favorite part was making pasta from scratch and of course eating what you make! It would be fun to visit again. Chef Wynton also teaches cooking classes for children and I'd definitely consider sending my step children-they would love it.
