I earned my Private Pilot's License on 12/22 from Melbourne Flight Training. I've been coming…read morehere working on my PPL for at least 7 months as time allowed. I'm really grateful to be partnered up with my CFI Mike Cahill who was very helpful, professional, patient with me. Anytime I needed help or had a question, he was there for me whether he was working or on his day off. Personally, I felt like he went the extra mile for me to ensure I was successful passing my checkride and is a great representation of the excellence this flight school has to offer. All the staff I encountered with at this flight school were always friendly and helpful. The folks at dispatch are always welcoming, the other CFI's who helped me out with stagechecks and mocks were very helpful, and even the mechanics from Heck Air were friendly and helpful. Not once did I ever have any scheduling conflicts or cancellations. It helped that the school has a big fleet of aircraft that were always well maintained. Throughout my training, not once was I under the impression that this flight school, nor their staff were just trying to make a quick buck. They truly care about all their students and want to ensure they have all the tools necessary to be safe and successful pilots/renters. Thank you Melbourne Flight Training for making a huge aviation enthusiasts dream come true of becoming a pilot!

What a blessing! After a colleague with a Mooney mentioned to me how smooth and professional they…read morewere I brought my 2002 M20R Ovation o2x here. Bobby explained to me the flat rate cost and projected timeline of 3 weeks if things went smooth and no parts delay. My drop off date was Nov 31st near holidays so I was expecting some delay. To my suprise the crew delivered on time and everything went smoothly. I have 1964hrs on my original io550g which has been very well maintained and she was still very strong showing compression in the 70s. Brakes were due but Bobby said only 1 as other looked like it was fairly fresh. I thought I needed a costly battery but he figured out it was a relay issue and corrected. Battery tested good. He never up sold me and saved unecessary costs. Thats a sign of a honest group. My plane flew extremely smooth event free on way home. I feel completely satisfied with honesty and quality of work. I am already on schedule for next year and will recommemd Spectrum Aero to anyone needing aviation maintenence.

FYI, I just had a great experience with an avionics shop. I was trying to get a pitot static and…read moretransponder IFR test done. Many places I called had a long wait or out of the normal $$ range. Found a place at Fort Pierce Treasure Coast Avionics. I've been around avionics shops 45 years this place was very professional and reasonably priced. I would recommend them for minor installs to complete avionics up grade. It's nice to walk into a place and be appreciated for giving them your business instead of feeling like they are doing you a favor.

This is one of those places that you have no idea it exists until you hear something about it, like…read morewhen they have an Open House. Essentially they rebuild, restore and maintain World War II aircraft- to FLYING CONDITION! At any given time, there are several aircraft- with so much history- in some state of repair. Just walking through the hangar, you can see, smell and touch some incredible history, and seeing these planes in this state- with panels and parts missing, the ability to look inside and see the working parts- is fantastic! And if you're lucky- you will see them fly, which is such a joy to see and hear these historic warbirds! This is a hidden gem in New Smyrna, and I highly recommend a visit if you are near- you will not be sorry!

KSFB aircraft maintenance center is run by Chris Reilly, A&P IA at Sanford's Southeast Ramp. Did an…read moreoil change on my Piper Archer, and did a decent job (although oil change is not exactly a tough task), then blacklisted me as a client due to the fact that I wrote about my bad experience with the Orlando Christian Flying Club on my blog, he apparently felt that meant I would write bad things about him at some point (well I guess you ended up being right, but it was pretty stupid to think that calling me, yelling at me about a bad review that had absolutely nothing to with you, without even fully reading it, blacklisting me and treating me badly would prevent that. I was actually going to write good things about you until that happened). Very flaky individual. The SouthEast ramp is a close knit community so he will surely get people to rush to his defense. Although I believe him to be competent mechanic, his behavior towards me was unprofessional and unnecessary. With other choices out there ask yourself if it is worth risking being treated like I was treated. I shudder to think about what I would have done if this had happened while he was doing an annual inspection and the plane was in pieces.
