They went over the manual, pedal controls, hand controls, did a thorough examination of the plane, covered the pre-flight checklist, and checked all the instruments. My husband got to participate in all of it! Once they got in the air it was an incredible and exhilarating experience for him! Not only is my husband going to have Adam start working with him to get his pilot license, but he wants our son to take lessons too. He's looking forward to becoming a new member of the Bakersfield Flying Club. Thank you Adam for being a great and knowledgeable instructor!

Exceptional training. I was lucky enough to attend the 4-day Jet Upset Recovery Training Course and…read moreI was very impressed with the quality of the ground and flight instruction. I was especially impressed with the syllabus items for the Impala and Sabreliner aircraft. I have zero doubt that I am a better aviator having gone through this training. The weather was beautiful, the aircraft well maintained and the flights lasted about an hour - about the right duration given all the unusual attitudes and G-forces. Highly recommend!

I asked a local (to me) shop to give a quote for the Stratus unit, and it was upwards of 5k. I thought I would bite that bullet but I received a postcard from Flight Research so I called and they were able to beat the price by hundreds! I flew into Mojave, which is a fun trip by the way, and the install was handled so well, and because it was a 'flat rate' some wiring and the encoder was replaced as included in the price. When it came time to leave, I had a problem with my radios and so I had to leave it to find the problem. Luckily it was a connector and an easy fix. But I had no ride to get there. So as their final and greatest act of customer service, they flew one of their planes to pick me up. I was having my old Mooney repaired, but I was treated like I was Space X. Great tour of the facility was included, too. I am so happy with the unit and the install and was able to receive my rebate too! High praise for Toni and Scott and all the hands on folks - thanks for taking care of my girl!

My daughter mentioned to my husband that she was interested in taking a glider ride. Since her…read morebirthday was in December, I decided to call and gather more information. I wish I could remember the name of the helpful woman who assisted me--she answered all my questions and let me know I could stop by to purchase a gift certificate. The prices are very reasonable, both for glider rides and for the courses offered to become a glider pilot. I'm so excited to watch my daughter take her first flight! There's also a restaurant, the Raven's Nest, right at the small airport, so we can watch as she takes off. 12/20/24

I have only been to Above All Aviation on two occasions. I live about an hour away…read more The first time was in 2015 when my wife purchased a gift certificate for the Red Bird Simulator. I scheduled a time block and arrived about 15 minutes early. The Instructor seemed a little put out and said you're only 30 minutes late. I said I didn't realize you wanted me here 45 minutes before my time block. The Instructor then went to a calendar and asked my name again, and said "Oh I guess you are early, well let's go." I thought to myself I'm not going to let his bad day ruin mine. As we walked over to the simulator his attitude completely changed. It turned into a great experience. I just recently took my Private Pilot Knowledge Test and the facility and staff are great. The staff takes there jobs very serious, but are very friendly. I was actually very impressed by the search prior to and after the exam. Very professional and explained everything prior to the test. Another great experience wish I lived closer.

I have to rave about the quality of the people here at Above All Aviation. On Saturday after…read moreThanksgiving, I flew my daughter back to Santa Barbara. When I went to fire the engine up to come home, nothing. The battery was dead, and the FBO had no start cart for a piston engine. I'm basically dead in the water. None of the mechanics shops are open, and hand propping is never a great option. I was busy calling every business on the field, and it was Above All to the rescue. Joel got stuff together, drove to my plane. He was exceptionally careful, and we talked about what we were going to do before starting. Long story short, the engine was started, and I was on my with minimal delay. I can highly recommend Above All for going above and beyond, and attention to safety.

The pilot went above and beyond to make everything perfect. A huge heartfelt thank you to him. It was an incredible experience! The birthday surprise was a success, exceeding all expectations. The only suggestion I have is to add some sort of sign at the entrance to indicate that "Corsair Aviation" is located in the building. It would make it easier for your clients to find you.

I was getting ready to schedule a flight with this company until I read their release of liability:…read more "You acknowledge and agree to indemnify and hold harmless Corsair Aviation, LLC and its officers, partners, agents, employees, parent corporations and subsidiaries from and against all claims, allegations, demands, liabilities, fines, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and any amounts paid in settlement) arising out of or related to: (i) your participation in flight activities (ii) the breach by Corsair Aviation, LLC of any of its material obligations under any Agreement, or (iii) the negligence, gross negligence, bad faith, intentional or willful misconduct of Corsair Aviation, LLC, it employees or other representatives or affiliates. You agree and assume full responsibility and risk in participating in the flight activities." Among other things, you must agree to hold them harmless due to their negligence, gross negligence, bad faith, intentional or willful misconduct. How scary is it that they make you agree to that? Hard pass.
