    Just passed my PPL checkride with the help and direction of Pilot in Training Flight Academy. I was taught by Mihir (who since left) up to and including my first solo flight, and later taught by Jan who took me from Student Pilot to Private Pilot. Both CFIs were extremely knowledgeable and invested in my success. Jan was particularly very good at drilling maneuvers and procedures into me so that they were second nature by the time of examination. Special mention to Bobby also, who helped me become a safer pilot by picking apart some of my weak areas during stage checks. Lastly, Slava is a great flight school owner - being very attentive and responding fast to emails and other concerns. He made me feel very welcome, even buying me lunch on one occasion! If you want to become a pilot or take a discovery flight, look no further than Pilot in Training Flight Academy!

    Just passed my IFR checkride thanks to the incredible team at Pilot In Training! My CFII (Jan) went above and beyond to help me fit lessons into my busy work schedule, prep for my written, and coordinate the checkride despite numerous obstacles. In all of this, I felt my time (and $) was respected. They're friendly, competent, and train safe pilots!! Beyond just the discovery flight- call them for your PPL or additional ratings !

    One of the best FBOs I've flown into; highly recommend flying into Montgomery if you plan on going…read moreto DC (and can't get into College Park). They are open until 7pm most weekdays, so if you want service...make sure you get here before 7pm. We arrived at 6:45 and a staff member with a golf kart met us (after calling them on the radio), showed us to our parking spot, pushed the plane back AND tied it down for us while getting our luggage to the gate. It was incredible. The FBO staff were super helpful in giving me the number to a few mechanics (spark plugs needed cleaning) on the field and even offered us some water. Parking is $15/day, but they were incredibly sweet to waive our fees for the entire 3 days with a top off. Usually they only waive one day with a 20 gallon purchase, but they were super nice to us! Getting to DC from this airport isn't too bad. You can take a Lyft/Uber directly to DC for about $40-45 (about a 35minute ride) or take a bus/taxi/Uber to the train station ($~10-15 for the taxi) and then take the train into DC($5). All in all, until I get the FRZ requirements out of the way to fly into College Park, I'll be sure to return to Montgomery if going to DC. They provided amazing service. There is also a diner right at the airport with has decent lunch and you can watch the planes taking off as you eat. Seems like a lot of locals go there.

    I bought Welshie a flying lesson from Open Air flight training through Groupon for Xmas, which is…read morehow we ended up here. He always mentioned he wanted to get his flying license one day, so it was a good gift. I'm so rad. It was cold as a witch's teat and the winds were high. Our instructor was super affable and knowledgeable too. I had my camera ready and was set to snap pictures from the ground when the instructor asked me if I'd like to fly along. I was scared, to be honest, since Welshie was manning the plane, but the instructor has full control as well. It was a stomach-dropping, squeal-inducing, 20-minute flight and it was quite freeing. I did think I was going to die, though. Our instructor even said that the winds were so bad that he was going to cancel the rest of his lessons. Nice. Overall, it's a great little airpark and learning to fly is awesome. It's not cheap if you want to get your license--you're probably looking at about $10K when it's all said and done. I highly recommend trying it out at least once, though.

My friend and I came here and we filled out all our consent forms and gave them the Groupon code. Then they took us to the back and explained everything to us. In the plane, you basically sit shotgun while the experienced professional flies the plane into the air to a safe altitude and then they give you control. Flying the actual plane was such an amazing experience. It felt scarier than skydiving to me. The instructor let's you fly for about 20-30 minutes and then he takes you down to the location. He also lands the plane. It apparently gets added to your flight hours if you were planning on becoming licensed. This is a once in a lifetime experience that I high encourage you try. I don't regret it in the slightest and the staff here make you feel safe.

    My experience at dream flight school was just what I expected. Started off with the Discovery…read moreFlight right through the Private License. Friendly staff and great Certified Flight Instructors. I highly recommend Dream Flight School if you're looking to obtain your PPL or IFR certificate. The planes used are clean and well maintained, some are even being updated with the newest technology. Additionally KDMW Airport is clean, and the Skytech staff are friendly. It's always nice to have the people fueling your planes encourage your progress -- just adds to the overall experience at Dream Flight School!
