BEWARE!!! Lack of plane availability and constant maintenance issues. Inept Management. Poor customer service.
You are absolutely only a number to this company, they do not care about their students or club members, just the money that they provide. The Monroe location is second in importance to the Concord location and such planes will be taken from Monroe and sent to Concord and reservations will be cancelled with no warning.
The manager for the location is very inept and now does not even live in the country and because of this is very hard to get in contact with, but it appears that this is the point. There are very slow responses to complaints/questions and a total lack of care or sincerity from management when finally addressing issues.
The planes are in OK shape (they are safe to fly, just old), but are down for maintenance issues very frequently. There are then large delays in getting the planes to the maintenance facilities which causes HUGE reservation/scheduling issues.
2 stars are given only because of the good quality of flight instruction that is given when you are actually able to get a reservation. However, instructors have been leaving due to the same issues (plane availability, inept management, etc).
My suggestion is to go to Aerowood, which has a much better reputation and business model. I do not recommend FlyCarolina for anything other than casual flight instruction. If you are looking to become a professional pilot, stay away from here as you will be wasting a large amount of time sitting on the ground instead of flying. read more
