There are so many good things that I could write about ITP, but if I were to sum it up; it all…read morecomes down to the incredible people that work there. Between Ms. Emma working the schedule, all the amazing flight instructors that prioritize learning, and the owner, Sherman, making sure all operations run smoothly and safely, you will be taken care of if you choose to fly with this flight school. I honestly cannot write enough praise to express how grateful I am that I was able to fly here. To give some context to my experience, I approached the team at ITP with a challenge to help me finish my private pilot license within a month. I had previous flight experience and had already accomplished my first solo, however, it had been a few years since then. I needed all the applicable training to get back to where I could solo, get all the required cross country time, and the proper aeronautical experience to finally have a checkride. After hearing this, Sherman and Emma booked time slots for the rest of the month and set me up with my CFI, Steffen. Although the weather took out a full week's worth of training, I was able to check during the month timeframe and, most importantly, I got my license accomplished UNDER BUDGET! This is the best flight school that I have ever flown with and if you choose to fly with ITP you will not be disappointed!

I learned to fly here and went through instrument. As per the last review, while it is true that…read morethe planes are constantly flying, so things tend to break occasionally, they are small things and are taken care of quickly. In my experience, every plane used to train students has some small glitches here and there, so it didn't bother me. I learned to fly as a student, which meant that I was able to devote my summer to training. I wanted to finish my certifications relatively quickly, so I flew almost every day of the week, with some weeks off for vacation. I finished my private certification in one summer, and then my instrument the next. I did my private certification Part 61 (the route most domestic students take) and was able to get flights done reasonably quickly - though I had a few delays due to difficulty booking a flight. That said, I think US Aviation was better than most flight academies because it has so many instructors and aircraft, meaning one aircraft going down for maintenance, or one sick instructor, is not going to keep you from training. If you are serious about training in a hurry, try doing your training Part 141, the route the international students take. The training is more intensive, but it forces you to fly every day and ensures that you will finish quickly. That's what I did for my instrument course, and it allowed me to finish a much more difficult certification in the same amount of time as my private. All in all, I think US Aviation is a great flight school. Admittedly I haven't had personal experience with many other schools, but they have a winning combination: they do fuel and maintenance in house. That means that day or night, they can get a fuel truck out to fill your plane, or send a mechanic out to fix it (and they do - last I checked the whole operation ran 18 hours a day.) If you are serious about finishing a certificate, US Aviation has the stuff to get you through on time.

He really knows what he's doing and he makes it easy to learn and understand what you're doing and why. He isn't scary or uptight like some of the instructors I've flown with at other schools. They have a nice little setup with multiple planes, both high wing (Cessna) and low wing (Cherokee). The office is a little small, but I'm told their main office is being renovated. The classroom actually has a nice feel to it though because your up close with your instructor and you can really grasp the materials/ask questions if needed. I love flying here, can't wait for all this weather to be gone so I can go up again!
