    I highly recommend training at Scottsdale Executive Flight Training. Currently as a 777 Pilot and…read morecertified flight instructor myself, I sent my daughter here after a disastrous time at Sierra Charlie Aviation. She spent over 6 months at Sierra Charlie Aviation and because of their incompetence, lack of awareness and poor scheduling, I pulled my daughter out of their program and sent her to Scottsdale Executive Flight Training. She was paired up with her instructor Maddie Moles, whom I cant say enough good things about. Under Maddie's supervision and instruction, my daughter, Calie has far exceeded and excelled at this flight school. They keep you informed, aware of progress and have a plan in place to keep their students moving forward at all times. Not only was Maddie instrumental in Calie's progress, the Chief pilot and head of Cessna training, Nick Lane, went above and beyond to make sure Calie was ready to pass her check ride without issues. Calie is looking forward to continuing training here at Scottsdale Executive!

We got to know about it once we reached the airport. Anyways we had to reschedule and as per availability, got for 2 weeks later. My wife loved it and it was a nice experience overall. Not easy to handle Cessna's but worth the once-in-a-lifetime experience. The pilot who flew with my wife was nice and welcoming. He engaged in small talk and did not let my wife bore me during the flight by answering all the queries. Taking away one star since I had to followup multiple times for the downgrade difference refund.

    Ben has been an excellent flight instructor for me and is honestly just a really nice guy who's…read moreeasy to learn from. He's a true people person who actually listens and understands how I learn, then adjusts his teaching to match. That made every lesson productive and comfortable. He's knowledgeable, calm, and safety focused, and the way he explains things makes challenging concepts much easier to understand. I was able to earn my Private Pilot License with Ben, and I'm now continuing my training with him as I work toward my IFR rating. His briefings and debriefs are always thorough and constructive, and I never feel rushed or talked over. Everyone else I've met at Leopard Aviation has also been awesome. The other instructors, including Logan, are always friendly and take the time to say hi when I walk in, which genuinely makes me want to keep coming back. I'd highly recommend Leopard Aviation to anyone looking for high quality instruction in a welcoming, professional environment.

    I moved my wife and kids from Minnesota to Arizona in spring of 2023 to pursue my CFI certification…read moreat Leopard Aviation. Their estimated cost was $5,500 and completion in 6 to 10 weeks. I kept my schedule open for lessons. For the first 5 weeks, I met with my instructor about 3x/week. My check ride was scheduled for July, right on schedule with what the school had initially outlined. Two days before the check ride, for the first time in my training, my instructor said he didn't consider me ready and cancelled the exam. Shocked but following their judgment, I continued to study and work with my instructor. At this point he had stopped putting me on his schedule unless I specifically asked. Otherwise, I didn't hear from him. Eventually I switched instructors, but the new one was much the same; flying with me often for the first few weeks and then not communicating unless I reached out. In addition, I asked every week if there was an update on a check ride date, to which the invariable response was, "We're working on getting you a check ride next month." This continued for 5 months -- studying like it was my full-time job, pushing my instructor to put me on his schedule, paying for extra flights to keep up my skills while my instructor said that the check ride was just around the corner -- until January 2024 when I reached out to the owner of Leopard. I told him what was going on and, after his own digging, he told me that my instructor had no intention of scheduling me for a check ride and didn't believe I knew the basics of flight (I had at this point passed my PPL, CPL, and IFR rating and had over 300 hours of flight time). This was the first I had heard anything of this sort. I told the owner, and he responded, "you know, a lot of these young instructors would rather sugarcoat their feedback than be blunt." This meant leading me on for 8 months, over 30 flights and costing me over $15,000, his response was that I should either start over at Leopard or move on to another flight school. I called Red Rock Flight School in Mesa to book a "report card" flight with their chief pilot. His review confirmed what I already knew. The chief pilot said that I clearly knew what I was doing and that Leopard did not properly evaluate my skill level as I safely and successfully flew a plane I had never flown, with INOP gauges. I immediately started at another flight school flew with them 9 times (mostly to learn a plane I had never flown) and passed my check ride on the first attempt. Under no circumstances would I recommend Leopard Aviation. The integrity of a school comes down from the top. In Leopard's case, the owner did not take any responsibility for the way my instructors had led me on, cost me 3x the money and 5x the time with nothing to show for it. Instead he offered to let me spend more money at his school or leave my investment behind and start over somewhere else. To close, a quote from Leopard Aviation's website: "We focus on being efficient with your time and resources, providing clear guidance and strategies to success, and reducing the frustration and stresses that can develop with flight training. We believe anyone can learn to fly, and that there is no such thing as a bad student, only a bad instructor."

    This is from the minutes at the former home of NW Sky sports. I can attest to the fact that Boggs…read moreflaunts safety rules constantly. In my opinion as a pilot. Boggs is an accident waiting to happen. Port staff requested that the committee discuss a proposed concession agreement for Northwest Sky Sports, although the final decision rests with the Port's executive director. In the past, Northwest Sky Sports operated its glider rides, scenic flights and instruction from Hangar 1, now under lease by Insitu. To operate a commercial activity on Port property, a business must have a concession agreement with the Port. Since there are no other concession agreements at Ken Jernstedt Airfield, Port staff felt it was appropriate to consult with the Airport Advisory Committee. Safety was the primary concern. Michael McElwee noted the Port had received some complaints regarding pilot Gary Boggs, especially during the September 2007 Fly-In. Young noted he has access to video documenting low flyovers that were beneath the Federal Aviation Administration's regulations. Yannotti expressed concern about possible repeated safety issues regarding Boggs and objected to the concession permit. Harris noted that he has witnessed the glider approaching the airport that were flying too fast and too steep, noting it was some of the most dangerous flying he had ever seen. Boggs countered that he was not flying at low altitudes and felt he was flying safely. All sides of the issue were allowed to offer input, which McElwee will assess as he considers a concession agreement for Northwest Sky Sports. McElwee plans to make a decision prior to Blossom Festival Weekend (April 19-20), when Boggs has some scenic flights scheduled.

A few days later when I was about 5 minutes away from the airport for my flight, Gary called and said the plane broke. He said he'd call me when it was fixed. About 2 weeks later (today) he texts me and tells me his plane is too expensive to fix and he's going out of business. He told me Groupon owes him "a bunch of money" and if I wanted a refund for the voucher he falsely redeemed, I'd have to reach out to Groupon. Still awaiting my refund. Sad thing was this was my birthday gift.
