Very lucky to be living and flying in such a beautiful and scenic place of the country to fly. If actual flying isn't your thing or maybe scared of heights then you can just hop in the full motion Redbird simulator and go anywhere in the world that you'd like. Great times to be had, and with great people. The flying or pilot community is a small one, but more like a family and some of the best people I've ever met!!

I started my IFR flight training in Charleston 2019 at another school prior to training with CRAFT…read more The Previous School I was flying with had some troubles with their aircraft unfortunately, and I was on a limited time frame to complete my IFR training as we were moving out of Charleston back to Florida. I contacted CRAFT and met with their great team and they were able to take me in, assess where I was at and get me set up and ready for my checkride in a short amount of time. The aircraft's are fantastic, well taken care of and flying the Diamond DA40 of course is amazing. If you're looking to do your flight training, take a discovery flight or just take a scenic tour around Charleston, I would recommend you reach out and talk to the team at CRAFT. Thanks again to Jay, Amanda and the team over at CRAFT and of course my Instructor Jack that helped me along obtaining my IFR ticket. - Kyle H.

I had a rather bizarre experience at IFR6 which is a school that specializes in immersive IFR…read moretraining and other endorsements / ratings. They have a one week IFR program that culminates with a check ride. I did my cross country 2 days before the check ride and was not happy with my proficiency. The school is in Charleston and I had failed to consider the implications of December weather in a city on the coast. My skills were not up to par with the wind and turbulence. That is 100% on me. The day after my cross country was the last day before my check ride and I noticed I was 8 hours short of the 40 needed for a check ride. I do feel that part of what I was paying for was the school managing my time but I'll take responsibility and say that is also 100% on me for not keeping up on my hours throughout the week. I had asked what a path to success looked like the morning before my check ride and the response was we would fly off the 8 hours today. It was another day of 20 to 30 knots at 3000 ft and my head was not in the right place to receive instruction. I asked to come back for my checkride prep and checkride but that got a quick denial. We spoke for about 20 or 30 minutes and I was being pressured to stay and was offered to return in Feb or Mar for my checkride. For some reason, the longer we were in the conference room the more contentious it became. But why? I wrote IFR6 a $6,500 check and had not asked or implied I wanted any money back. I declined the delayed checkride, put on my coat and left. I was walking to the FBO to leave and never to be heard from again. This is when it got even stranger. On my walk to the FBO, my CFII calls me and asks to have a few pages out of my syllabus. I can't put my finger on why but I had become suspicious. I told the CFII that I would think about it. After entering the FBO, I got another call from one of the people who runs the place, I told her, I was talking to the lady at the FBO desk and to give me a minute. She hung up on me and immediately drove down to the FBO. She confronts me at the FBO desk, demanding the papers and stating that they had to be turned in to the FAA (I've since spoken to the FSDO, there is nothing to turn in to the FAA). I again declined handing them over and they were already in my plane at that point. She then loudly (I'm not easily embarrassed) proclaims that I have her property in my plane and she demands access to the ramp. The FBO denied her access and assured me no one would be given access to my plane. It was so bad I took my phone out of my pocket and was about to call 911. I knew that would just escalate the situation and decided instead to disengage. The IFR6 person then offers to refund my checkride fee ($500) in return for the pages. I continue to decline. Fast forward a couple days, I'm now home and the CFII calls me to say he needs the papers in order to get paid. That's much different than "they have to be turned in to the FAA". I still don't really know what was going on or what happened. All I wanted was to return for checkride prep and a checkride. The way IFR6 treated a customer who had written them a large check a week prior was despicable. As tempting as it is, go somewhere else.

I just completed the IFR6 program this week, and I can't say enough good things about it. From…read morestart to finish, the process was seamless. Laura was very helpful with getting the ball rolling over Thanksgiving weekend. The best part of the process was getting assigned to the chief pilot instructor Zach Dodd. He is a fantastic instructor and very knowledgeable. He went out of his way to show me the finer details during this accelerated course for the instrument rating. Initially, the program seems a bit costly. However, I compared the same number of hours I spent at IFR6 with the hours at my home airport, and I realized it's much more productive to get intensive training day after day. Also, it was nice to know I'd have a check ride at the end of the experience.

It was a Sunday morning (March 6th) and a last minute thought, so I called the number instead of using the online booking. The message said they were busy and to use the online booking service on their website. I then placed a request for later that day and waited for a confirmation or rejection. It is good we were not waiting at the helo pad, because I received the rejection of the request over 48 hours later (Wednesday afternoon of March 8th) with an explanation that is was "Past Date" as if I did not have access to a calendar. I am not advocating that every business has to be open for every whim of a customer however, if your site conveys that the business is in operation, then they should definitely act like they are open, even if to say we can't accommodate your request.

These bad comments couldn't be further from the truth and I believe there are just some bad/negative students out there who think the world revolves around them. I signed up for a discovery flight, figured if I didn't like something I could look elsewhere. Well the discovery flight was AWESOME!! We flew up the coast to IOP, then back across the harbor/bridge and over downtown on our return. The instructor (Robin) was most professional and informative. My decision was made right there!! I booked a 10hr flight training package and I'm on my way to earning my PPL with the first 3hrs already under my belt. All I can say is I'm stunned that I almost didn't even go just because of these comments, which leads me to question their motive and legitimacy. Sign up for a discovery flight and go see for yourself, you will not be disappointed.

Bill really helped me with my training, and, with his years of experience, not only helped me get my Instrument and Commercial rating, but made me a much better pilot for real work flying experience. This school has some really good CFIs with a lot of experience. You are not just a number to them, they really want you to get your ratings/licenses and become a good pilot. I have been flying and training for a long time and this school, hands down, is the best experience I have encountered. Not only do they train you well, but they introduce and welcome you to the world of aviation in a great way. With bbqs and I really personalized touch, they introduce you to a lot of people and make you feel like a part of the Aviation family. Highly recommend!

A phenomenal Training Center with Excellent facilities and instructors…read more I was lucky enough to be provided a tour of this facility right before Christmas. I did NOT take any classes there but I spoke to my family member that was enrolled and was told that the facilities, curriculum and teachers are outstanding. Steve was an instructor there and toured us around. He did not have to but took his time to answer all our questions and show us everything from the crew training pool to the full-motion simulators. This is a controlled facility so you must be allowed through the parking lot gate and into the building. From there you will be escorted around if you are a visitor like me. They have classes and 2 types of simulators. The classes can fit around 20 people each with each person having a flight controller and a screen. The more basic simulators are non-motion but set up with screens and more controllers for increased realism. The instructor console is behind them in the room. The full-motion simulators had projector screens for realistic cockpit vision as the pilots practice in a full cockpit with the instructor behind them running them through drills. They have a lot of full-motion simulators but there is an increased demand due to the Gulfstream fleet increasing in size and complexity. Once we were done, they let us visit the lounge which is beautiful and has great food. As you descend the stairs to depart you will see a sign that says, "Reserved for the Sky's Most Elite." With this kind of training, I can believe it. Thank you, Steve, for the tour during the holidays.
