    I've taken some flying lessons with Patrick at Global Aviators Academy. He is very knowledgeable and makes learning fun. He's the best in his field. I trust Patrick and I wouldn't go anywhere else.

    Engine shut down and restart. These are fun. Something about looking over to see the propeller not spinning.

    I started my flight training with Global Aviators after my private pilots license. Got my Instrument, Commercial, and Multi-Commercial with Patrick as my instructor. Solid flight training and even more than that, solid friendship. Patrick has a passion for teaching that is hard to find in today's "get my hours to go to the airlines" CFI's. He will make you earn your wings and ratings but come check ride time, you will perform all your rides at a CFI level. If you are looking for quality flight training, you won't find better.

    Proudly I was student at Global aviators academy, very honest and easygoing school. By shifting my career to be a professional commercial pilot, I started my journey with Captain Patrick (my instructor and the dear friend). From my very first flight training, Patrick made it fun, enjoyable, secured and for sure Efficient. And he made sure I was always well prepared for my check-rides. In less than 9 months, I got my private/ instrument and commercial pilot multi engine license. And finally, I'm very happy for making a good brother at California.

    I could not ask for anything more out of a flight school and an instructor. Patrick is the best and you know that when it comes time for your check ride, you will be prepared because of him and his amazing ability to teach. Patrick instructs with a desire to make you the best, not just good enough for a passing grade. His attention to detail, safety and the individual strengths and weaknesses of a student are things that a truly great instructor are made of. Not to mention, what a great guy and someone that I feel honored to call a true friend. I now look forward to my son reaching the age when he can start training with Patrick and that should speak as highly as anything can about a person and their business.

    Patrick went beyond just the bare minimum required by the FAA for a flight review which I appreciated.

    From my son Rick: 17…read morey/o PPL here. UAA's KPOC school offers professional yet welcoming environment. The staff are extremely friendly with a nice facility located on the Northwest end of the field. To add some perspective, you hear about 17 year old birthday checkrides, and 40 hour check rides, but not both. I came into UAA with absolutely no stick time and left as a flight school record holder with my checkride which was done on my 17th birthday @40 hours. This would not have been possible without my CFI/CFII Vishwa Ravichandran, who made this possible by going out of his way to customize a training regimen for me to make it happen. Extremely selfless yet knowledgeable individual who cares about teaching his students, and making each student better than the last passed checkride. My very first interaction with him was when he allowed me to borrow his headset when mine had an issue on my very second flight. He became my primary CFI immediately following this. My previous CFI, from the KEMT location, was inconsistent with scheduling and it felt as if I was acting as a passenger in the pilots seat as opposed to investing in a hands-on learning experience. Compare this Vishwa's constant attention to the little things, which are the reason why I passed my checkride at my age with such a low flight time. UAA's KPOC location offers a greater environment for students. My father obtained his rotor wing PPL at 68 hours at the KEMT location, and obviously myself at 40 at KPOC. I will let the hours speak for themselves. Great school with great people, highly recommend.

    I just completed my demo flight and it was such a great experience. Before the flight my instructor…read moreSoo went over some basic information about the instruments and what to expect during the flight. He did the pre flight check and explained everything he was doing thoroughly. So much great information. Before I knew it, we were taking off and he was  allowing me to take the controls at times. It was such a thrill, at times I was nervous but he was so nice to remind me to take my time and have fun! I really did have such a great time and look forward to flying with him in the future.
