Ever think about flying a plane? Well Southern Maine Aviation offers discovery flights that allow…read moreyou to do just that! My best friend is joining the air force and in preparation she has been going on discovery flights to get hours and experience. For my birthday this year she surprised me with a gift certificate for a free flight. Upon arrival we introduced to our instructor Aaron Poetz. I would 100% recommend him and would definitely request him in the future. He made our flying experience one to remember. This is something I think everyone should try at least once in their life. So grateful for the experience I had this morning and cannot wait to do it again. Thank you Southern Maine Aviation and Aaron!

If I could give SMA negative 5 stars, I would…read more They are a TOTAL Scam. Waste of $. All of these "positive" reviews you see are Fake. Read my experiences with them to see why they are FULL OF S*it, with nasty, condescending people in charge (Andrew Button and "owner" Mark Damuth). Stay away from Southern Maine Aviation The "manager" mark Damuth--is one nasty human being (pos). He is condescending and takes no responsibility for his inept instructors or company; the "chief pilot" Andrew is nearly as bad. Mark believes a paying customer who makes legitimate, verifiable complaints about the 'service' from the company and employees and requesting to get what they, the paying customer, fully paid for is somehow considered "harassment" and "threatening "and he will then REFUSE you service (BTW, I had my lawyer check my complaints and he could've brought a defamation suit against Damuth for saying that I was threatening because I did NO such thing; he just doesn't want to hear negative reviews about his sh!t company)! I've never been treated this way as a paying customer. Avoid Logan as a flight instructor. If you have a tight budget, time restrictions in your life and clear goals, I'd highly urge you to NOT use this company for flight training! Do NOT waste your time or money (unless you just want to burn $ with no set goal) at Southern Maine Aviation. I was fortunate to be able to take a leave from my job and had the money to finish a rating that I had wanted. I had said NUMEROUS times to Southern Maine/instructor that I wanted to be scheduled EVERY DAY, so that I can finish this rating ASAP. I had repeated this several times. From my past experiences with flight training, as well as per the advice of an airline pilot and a CFI from another company, and they concur with me, that you need to fly every day, or at least several times a week, in order to become and stay proficient with the maneuvers in order to pass the checkride. PERIOD. Further part 141 companies, which Southern Maine claims to be, that I have used in the past only allowed for TEN HOURS of training for this particular rating (see ATP). It CAN be done in that timeframe with a GOOD instructor and company = neither of which i got from SMA! I had been trying SINCE March to May of 2023 to finish this with Southern Maine, for a rating that shouldve taken NO more than ten hours; and I barely got scheduled once a week and not a care in the world from my "instructor", the "chief" pilot or "manager". So, i never was able to get my rating after spending $4k+! My instructor screwed up the schedule and canceled MY slot bc he had someone else in it. My instructor stated that he'd schedule me asap.....that was in may 2023 and i never heard back from him. After unsuccessful attempts to get my complaints rectified by the "manager/owner", i have just gotten no accountability, condescension and nastiness and wrongfully accused of "making threats"...im still waiting for Mark to show me where i allegedly made these threats (hes a lying pos). I refused to continue to pay to get this type of training from this company, when I clearly dont matter as a customer that had paid a lot of $$. So now, after MONTHS of studying, wasted time, gas, mileage/wear and tear on car, and $4000+ pissed away with Southern Maine, I still have NOTHING. Since I never was not sufficiently prepped or signed off for a checkride with Southern Maine, I am still no closer to my goals then when I started....just poorer. If you have a goal of finishing as fast as possible to get flight training, do NOT use Southern Maine. Go to an actual 141 school. Going with Southern Maine, with no clear focus on your training or when/if youll finish your goals, with incompetent instructors/"chief" pilot Button/owner Damuth, is NOT the way to go. N ow, thanks to Southern Maine not really giving a hoot about my goals, needs or training, I am out of luck with regards to finishing my rating and my flying future. I may never have opportunity to finish my training and head to the airlines. Avoid this company if you want to get your certs and ratings within reasonable times, per 141 standards. DO NOT WASTE TIME OR $ WITH SMA

This was my second flight lesson ever, since my last one was 3 years ago, this one was an intro…read moreflight. (Last lesson was also intro, different flight school). If you're just doing it for the experience, are dreaming of your licence, or actively pursuing it, a word of advice: communicate with your instructor on what you want to do and see in your lesson. You may not get to land on your first lesson, but if you want to make a radio call, ask if that's okay by your CFI. Compared to the first flight school, this lesson was more in depth and hands on. I got a pre-flight briefing of the instrumentation I can expect in the cockpit, and I got to participate in the full pre-flight checklist. While I had my CFI backing me up, I was also able to steer the plane on the ground during taxi (before and after being in the air). While in the air, my instructor was great about showing me how to fly leve, making proper turns, and explaining a little bit about how to get lined up for landing. Towards the end of the lesson I was able to get some practice taxiing and was able to make some radio calls. Flying a plane is complicated, make no mistake, but it's one of the most amazing experiences that cannot be explained in words, they must be experienced first hand. I'm glad that this flight lesson, even though technically an intro was able to cover so many different elements of general aviation in a hands-on fashion. It goes without saying that my CFI, Jason (I think) was awesome and made my second flight lesson a reminder of why I love flying so much, and dream of getting my pilot's license.

I had begun at ECAC with the goal of completing my last few requirements to complete my private…read morepilot's license and get checkride ready. My friend, who was a flight instructor there, had recommended me to ECAC. With my first instructor, I was surprised by her lack of professionalism and ability to be consistent with plans we set. After a ground lesson didn't cover any of the material we had discussed focusing on in advance, she was unable to explain how what we covered matched the plans we had made. After speaking about this with the chief pilot, Marc Nathanson, he validated these concerns and recommended another instructor and said I should call to ask about getting my money back for the lesson that did not cover what I had agreed on. As soon as I walked into ECAC the next week to meet with my new instructor, I was yelled at by Bob Wall, the manager, in front of clients and instructors. He took my dissatisfaction with the previous instructor personal and mocked me for not already being a pilot, saying I was, "no one compared to the people there." I had done exactly what Marc had told me to do, and was horrified by how I was treated for it. I was there to try and continue as a student at ECAC, but seeing how it was run was embarrassing. It was clear that this was not a place where I could finish my training. While some of the other staff were supportive and sympathized with my concerns, they even recommended that I would get better training at a different flight school. The other reviews which pointed out the poor management of this school were true, and I should have listened to them from the start. I do not recommend this school for its unprofessionalism in management.
