Professional Flight Crew is, hands down, the best flight school in the Bay Area. Here's why:
1. Safety - when you get into a small gasoline-powered machine at 3,500 feet, you're putting your faith, and your life, in the hands of your flight instructor. PFC is obsessed with teaching the right skills and techniques to be a safe pilot, on good days, and in the event everything goes wrong. Their instructors emphasize safe operation, contingency planning, and situational awareness from Day 1.
2. Teaching skills - PFC employs the best flight instructors in the Bay Area. They have thousands of hours of experience, and they have taught hundreds of students to fly. Whether you're a natural ace, or have a fear of flying, they will teach you the skills and techniques you need to be a first-class pilot.
3. The instructors - PFC flight instructors have to be some of the nicest, most patient people on the planet. I have a good time every time I fly with them, and although I've made many mistakes, they are consistently upbeat, positive and encouraging. They won't tell you you've done a good job when you haven't (and you don't want an instructor who does!) but they will support you from your first lesson all the way to your Private Pilot License and beyond.
4. Equipment - PFC has some of the nicest planes and simulators available in Northern California. They have low wing and high wing aircraft, traditional and glass cockpits, simple and complex aircraft, and multiple simulators. Whatever you want to learn, PFC has the equipment to teach you, and it is all immaculately serviced and maintained.
5. Affordability - PFC has some of the most reasonable prices for both instruction and plane rentals in the Bay Area. Learning to fly is expensive, but PFC makes it a lot more affordable than most schools.
I can't recommend these guys highly enough. If you've been thinking about learning to fly, this is the place to do it!
