First Landings Aviation - Brand new Piper Pilot 100i

First Landings Aviation

Five years ago I started a journey towards becoming a pilot. That journey began at First Landings…read moreand I could not be more thankful. The school is run by a team of professionals that take your flight training as far as you want to go with a pace that matches your lifestyle. The rates for training beat out the competitors while delivering a product that is more personal and productive. The training area is right next to First Landing's home airport (X04) and this is a huge advantage. While training you do not have to waste money and time getting to where you need to practice. The airport is also between several other airports making it an ideal training environment. I pursued my Instrument, Commercial, Flight Instructor, Instrument Flight Instructor, and sport plane Instructor licenses from First Landings. While doing so I was able to compare my experiences with students at other schools. What I found was that not only did I save money, but my training was more productive. Following this I taught for First Landings for several years as a Flight Instructor. The experiences I have gained there have been invaluable in making me the pilot I am today. Thanks to these experiences at First Landings my peers and I are all working for the airlines living the dreams we set out for. If you are looking for a flight school this is the one and there is no better time to start your journey with the schothat will make your dreams a reality.

A fantastic sponsor to our podcast, Runway Life! First Landings has always treated us with respect,…read moreand we recommend this flight school to anyone interested in flight training!

Poor leadership, avoid at all costs. Highly expensive, waste of time, no flight training…read moreprogression. Managers are unprofessional and would reschedule me and move me around from instructor to another. Had zero care or regards when I brought up my lack of progress as a student there. Do not train here.

Proceed with caution!! Skyborne is riddled with culture problems from poor leadership, unscrupulous…read moreaccounting, contracts with 90 day return clauses, $26 hr fuel surcharges, mandatory brief times at $62 hour, and a disorganized flight line that has students sitting around waiting weeks for flights and check rides. Took me 8 months to get my PPL and $40k, finally leaving May 2023. Both long time employees and students were leaving and the Delta Propel program only exacerbated the problems there. Every student was complaining and felt trapped in contracts tied to loans that Skyborne controlled and allocated funds for inaccurately. I boldly called out leadership for their lack of care for students and was met with belligerence and disregard. The maintenance and housekeeping crew were kind, hard working, the planes were well kept and fueled but sadly, the negative culture there is killing this once legendary organization when owned by Flight Safety Academy. Do not trust what you see on fancy websites and social media. Dig into the contract, read the fine print and speak to students living there on campus. Most importantly... have a Plan B, you're going to need it to make your dream of being a pilot come true. Good luck Aviator... I'll see ya in the skies. (I wrote a detailed blog post about my experience including contracts and details.)
