    Johnny was a kind, informative and patient instructor for my partner's discovery flight. He let him…read moretake the controls and really tried to explain everything he was doing. It was about $190 for a ~1-hour flight. With a combined weight of under 350 lbs, I was able to tag along in the back seat. The views were great, but my nerves were glad to hold on to the puke bag though thankfully wasn't needed.

    One of the worst flight schools ever. They have treated me unfairly. The owner is a complete…read moreselfish ignorant jerk. I had issues with billing this whole time and they are always correcting errors for over charging me. After making a complaint with the NCP, when they failed to send my money back to my loan provider after making several calls and emails he now wants me to pay an extra $4,000 for things stating I should have been charged higher and is retaliating against I sat down and told him all the things that has happened with me and the school and said I was just a "bad apple". Please avoid this school if you can and choose a different path to get your pilots license. A lot more happened like a plane crash a few years back after reporting to them that the plane a week ago was not performing well. Double charging me on items. Failing to disclose how much money I originally should have received, and much more. One of the worst flight schools ever. They have treated me unfairly.

    Bought a Groupon for a 30 minute flight for two in their full motion flight simulator. Arrived…read moreabout 15 minutes early per their request, checked in and waited for our flight instructor Scott to arrive. Scott was right on time and very personable. He introduced himself and led us to the flight simulator which is located in a hanger on the property. Scott setup the simulator and I climbed aboard. Once everything was ready Scott asked me where in the world I'd like to fly which was really cool. He got me on the ground where I wanted to fly and proceeded to get me started. Scott was very patient and recognized what I needed to get the flight going. Having had some previous simulator experience he stepped in only when necessary which gave me an excellent experience. I was able to fly for a complete hour as my wife wasn't interested...I had an excellent experience and would recommend Bountiful Flight to anyone seeking flight training or wanting to try out the flight simulator. Scott would be an excellent instructor no matter what your needs. I hope to return in the future for additional sessions.

    Ground instruction is great, designed to not let you fail. You will be prepared for orals. Flight…read moreinstruction is ok. Airplane to student ratio is poor. If you weigh more than 170ish plan to be flying a DA-40/20 depending on your location. They have roughly 8-10 DA-40s total and 0-4 up at a time. Mx is slow and prioritizes cruisers. Cruiser USA is also owned by Jason Clarke, so his FLT Mx guys are routinely building sport cruisers for customers of cruiser USA. Upper MGMT is dismissive of students concerns/requests. The school relies on a student base who cannot afford flight training otherwise. They partner with funding companies that lock you into high interest loans, and in turn, get you to sign a training agreement that ensures you cannot leave if you are dissatisfied with their product down the line. They will try to convince you that their program is faster, but it's not. The timeline published on the website for their career track program is inaccurate by 6-8 months. They do not have anyone finishing private pilot in under 55 hours. Expect to take 65-85 hours for private. If you fly the DA-40, expect to get between 9-15 hours a month. You do the math. Instrument will take 4-6 months and commercial will take 2 months after that. CFI will take 4-6 months as well. Just some notes and observations from somewhere who's been there. I could say more, and happy to if people have questions. My final thought- If you can afford to pay cash, take your money elsewhere and never let anyone dictate your training timeline to you. Ultimately your career is yours and nobody will put your best interests forward except for you.
