Terrible maintenance, with two people getting injured or killed, and the wing falling of a plane, and engine failure killing A CFI.

Poor leadership, avoid at all costs. Highly expensive, waste of time, no flight training…read moreprogression. Managers are unprofessional and would reschedule me and move me around from instructor to another. Had zero care or regards when I brought up my lack of progress as a student there. Do not train here.

Proceed with caution!! Skyborne is riddled with culture problems from poor leadership, unscrupulous…read moreaccounting, contracts with 90 day return clauses, $26 hr fuel surcharges, mandatory brief times at $62 hour, and a disorganized flight line that has students sitting around waiting weeks for flights and check rides. 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 earned my Private Pilot's License on 12/22 from Melbourne Flight Training. I've been coming…read morehere working on my PPL for at least 7 months as time allowed. 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!

There is no right or wrong time. You just have to do it and it will all work itself out. So here I am, 42 years old, father of three girls with an amazing wife and I decided to just do it. I looked at three schools that were all of equal distance from where I live and decided to go with Aamro in WPB off Beeline (SR 710) just north of PGA Blvd and I'm glad I did. When you start learning, it becomes part of your life. The employees become almost family. You are always in contact with them making and planning flights. At times it might become overwhelming but let me tell you, everyone I have meet at Aamro have been amazing and have treated me like family. I recently completed my checkride as Private Pilot and the CFIs I have had and met along the way at Amaro have been just amazing. Sophia is my go to CFI and I highly recommend her as her personality, experience, and passion for flying is exceptional. Jeffery is another CFI that I have had and when Sophia was not available, he was always there for me as they all were. Justin, who I believe is the manager, but you couldn't tell because he was always making everyone feel like family and as equals, was awesome. I look forward to growing and continuing to learn with Aamro as I feel like it is my home when it comes to aviation. I give Amaro a 10 out of 10 all day! Thank you Aamro for the enjoyable experience and for giving me the skills I have always desired. Sincerely, your friend Frank
