He's known to throw curveball questions at me to keep me on my toes and he always has me thinking. If I do not know the answer, he'll carefully go over the answer and make sure that I will remember it in the future. Picking out a CFI can be very tricky (he's the third one that I have studied under) so let me assure you that I lucked out by finding him. I will be recommending him to all of my friends that are looking into flying.

My involvement in the aviation/airline industry spans a few decades. Needless to say over the years…read moreI have had my fair share of dealings with different flight schools and various Fixed Based Operator's (FBO's) at airports all across the United States. My experiences run the spectrum from good, bad to ugly. Once in awhile I will have an interaction with an aviation company that truly stands out as memorable and is defined by exceptional service and a wonderful customer experience. One such organization is Aurora Aviation at the Aurora State Airport south of Portland, OR. I initially sought the services of Aurora Aviation because of a particular type of aircraft that they offer for rent/training. My initial visit to Aurora Aviation was to inquire about the aircraft and to satisfy some technical requirements for my FAA Pilot certification. The front office staff were so helpful and courteous and took the time to answer all of my questions. What really impressed me was a flight instructor that took time from his day to visit with me and answer more questions and make sense of a few technical issues that I was attempting to resolve. Every interaction that I have had at Aurora Aviation has been extremely positive and with such professionalism and focus on the customer that they have earned my business for keeps. I was so impressed on my initial visit with the staff and the facility. Their efforts truly earned a five star rating!

I tried posting this on Google, but they complained and had it taken down. Just to give you an idea…read moreas to how much they did not want for me to expose them and the first-hand experience I had as a PAYING customer. Chief Pilot Rishab is favoring only Indian people. I am a student who failed a stage check because of a single instructor, and did not know why he failed me in the stage check. That particular instructor, Beswin, wouldn't give me a solid reason or explanation and just evaded the question when I asked him directly. When I talked to Rishab, he just sided with Beswin, and dismissed me entirely. It is such a shame when the school is such a beautiful school, that they would be biased, discriminatory, and even showing preferential treatment to their PAYING students by doing this. It is beyond mind-blowing to me that they can just disregard students like this. Your students are how you are in business. Without them, you would have no money, job, or a school establishment. Do not EVER attend here. Stay CLEAR and stay FAR FAR FAR away. They will just waste your money and time, which are your most valuable assets.
