How they…read moreseem to hire people that all genuinely care and go above and beyond needs to be studied, but they have figured it out! I scheduled back surgery and my Cirrus SR22 was going to be parked for a couple of months. Carter asked me when I parked it before surgery if I had any tie-downs. I said I didn't have any with me but it should be fine. He was thinking about monsoon season. He said that he needed some tie-downs and had been meaning to buy some so he said he was going to buy some, tie my aircraft down and then he'd have the tie-downs he wanted when I returned. I couldn't believe he was offering this. I went back about 3 weeks after surgery just to start it up and sure enough Carter had the aircraft completely tied-down! Amazing. I can't say enough about the people. Nancy is also amazing and cares so much. It is truly great to walk in and get the incredible welcome I get when I arrive. I love this place. Whenever I ask for fueling or any other services, they are always on top of it. There aren't enough stars in the standard review form. You can't go wrong with Cutter Aviation PHX!

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.

I ended up working with them to get the rating done. Jonathan, the head of the flight school, was the CFI I'd be working with. I'm so glad I did. He was able to teach to my learning style and we worked really well together. We met early and stayed late to get me ready for the check-ride. Coming from northern California, I booked out a week to accomplish the task. Unfortunately, the DA-42 Twin Star broke. A broken fuel injector in one of the engines made it impossible to train in the limited time frame. I had to leave and come back. On my second trip back, the night before the check-ride, I got news of a friends passing in an aviation incident. Thanks to Jonathan's prep, the following day, I was able to pass the oral portion of the check-ride with flying colors and discontinued on the flying portion. I re-booked for a return visit. Upon coming out, the aircraft had an other issue during one of our flights. Sawyer's in house mechanics both times went above and beyond to get the aircraft back in service but the parts needed to be special ordered from Europe. Being in aviation and an aircraft owner, things like this just happen no matter how well an aircraft is maintained. Throughout this process, I was able to witness a side of aviation that most don't get to see. Sawyer's maintenance team rocks and worked their butt off to make sure things are tip top. Even though I wasn't able to finish my multi-engine commercial add on at Sawyer, they did take care of me. Jonathan built a foundation for me to finish a few months later back in northern California and I earned my ratings. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Sawyer Flight academy because not only did they treat me well, they training I received was top notch.

Absolutely fantastic service. We landed at Sky Harbor yesterday and experienced a main tire blowout…read moreon landing. We were disabled on the runway and their ramp team, under the leadership of Greg, was extremely helpful. Never once was safety compromised while they coordinated with airfield operations to secure and tug our disabled aircraft off the runway. Once safely off the runway, they assisted us in finding a maintenance company and the right parts to get airborne again. We were back flying within five hours of the incident! This never happens. The people at Swift were amazing hosts and customer service was nothing less than first class. Care, concern and decisive leadership set them apart...thank you!!!

As an aviation journalist and a commercial pilot, I've been to scores of FBOs all across the…read morecountry. From luxury resorts to ho-hum destinations, the FBO makes a huge difference in a pilot's (and their passengers') experience. There are crappy ones, good ones, and- much more rarely- great ones. Lux Air is a great one. It's not the building. Lux is really nice, but it's no Puerto Vallarta or San Diego or Montana. But the building does NOT make the FBO. Atlantic, for example, has a really big and impressive FBO in Utah and a few other places, but their customer service is crap. If you waltz up to an Atlantic (or a Millionaire, or an ACI, or...) in a Cessna 150, you'll witness that FBO's "true colors." They'll treat you like a red-headed stepchild with a lisp. And I'll just say that most FBOs only care about jets with $3000 ramp fees and 2000 gallon fuel Orders. Not so with Lux. Even pulling up, literally, in a Cessna 150, they sent out a ramper, marshalled us in, carried our bags, brought a golf cart, got us a loaner car, offered us water, answered questions, took a fuel order, waited for us patiently, and even asked us about our trip and home base, all without a hint of irony. I've rarely encountered more helpful people. And they were smiling and enthusiastic, and kind. They offered us drinks and food and directions and recommendations and a million other things. I was blown away. The most incredible part: they DIDN'T charge us a ramp or an overnight fee. Even with a paltry 7-gallon fill up! We're we in the Twilight Zone? Also, their 100 LL fuel price did not come with a tube of Vaseline and the business card of a sex-assault counselor (the way Palm Springs or Burbank should). It was only .50 cents more than the cheapest fuel at any nearby airport. They had snacks and crew cars and flight planning rooms and sleep couches and everything the rip-off people have. But with courteous, kind, cheerful, efficient service. It's the PEOPLE that make an FBO, and these folks- shout out to Hunter and the other front desk staff- really stand out. I can't say enough about Lux Air. I'd stop into Goodyear JUST to experience their service. What a great FBO. Thank you for showing others how it's done.

Do yourself a favor and get your estimate in writing. I thought something was wrong when the airplane wasn't ready the day promised. I called and asked if they encountered a problem and they assured me it would be ready the next day, surprise, it wasn't - 2 days late and 12x the initial quote.. I called the manufacturer's support line and was assured the unit could be installed and configured easily within 3 hours. In a Van's Owners Forum, one individual reported an install in as low as 45 minutes. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. They had a lot of opportunities to do the right thing - e.g. realize it's not the unit quoted before the install or during any of my calls questioning the timeline; but they waited til it was done and hoped I wouldn't notice? I brought it to a manager's attention and he was very hostile and unprofessional about it. Now they don't want to rip me off, I mean, "do business" with me anymore. Sounds good - not a problem!
